Sandman appreciation thread

Weird. Just found out about him yesterday and here (You) are making a thread about him. Is the comic any good? What's good about it and can you tell me what's it about? Thanks. :)

Read the real one instead.

>>81487431
its great. it basically retells the stories in the old sandman comics but in a cooler noir style

Just read vol 1 recently. Never was a big fan of street level comics, but read it for the noir setting, the 30s feel and because I liked Sandman's design, and l'm loving it.

sandman was written in 1939. the niel gaimen one is from the late 80's

Well multiple DC characters have held the title Sandman. He started as Wesley Dodds, a Golden Age pulp hero named who puts villains to sleep (I mean that literally, he doesn't kill them), then there was a superhero named Garrett Sanford in the 70's.

However, the important one that most people know is Neil Gaiman's Sandman, a 75 issue series starting in 1989. It's about Morpheus AKA Dream AKA Sandman, a member of eternal beings known as The Endless, who presides over the realm of dreams.

Then there's pic related, Sandman Mystery Theater, which is a throwback to the Wesley Dodd era of the character.

I miss Sandy Hawkins, his Sandman costume was GOAT and he was a really cool leader for the JSA until his nightmares started driving him down a lonelier path.

there was also the later justice society run where sandy (who was his sidekick and at that point known as sand) was the new sandman after dodds killed himself to protect dr fate

Out da way faggots, best Sandman comin' thru

why did dc have to end the Justice Society comics. i remember there was a cool kingdom come crossover

I hope Vertigo brings back books like this and Shade, reinventing their old characters into different settings. Hope the Vertigo relaunch brings them back.

you have no fucking taste faggot

it got kinda sucky after Johns left (as comics often seem too), shame though.

Feel free to keep projecting if it will make you feel better.

>>81488139
I was hoping Shade would do something interesting in JL Dark but Milligan's run was average as usual.

>>81488139
Who would you like to see make a comeback?

We so rarely have Sandman threads and guys have to ruin it, for shame.

Alright I know this has mostly been a thread for the street level Sandmans so far, but I have about 19 issues left in the Gaiman series and I was wondering in what order should I read the spinoffs after that (eg. Dream Hunters, Endless Nights, Death, Overture, Lucifer).

I'm planning on checking out Mystery Theatre at some point.

I would like to see Wildcat as a retired boxer and a trainer set in the 60s or something. A legacy book mostly from the point of view of the older character, and focused on boxing and the mafia.

Dream Hunters & Endless Nights: at any time, they have no effect on the continuity.
Death: you could read it now, you know all you need to.
Overture & Lucifer: as soon as you finish Sandman.
