The Sandman

The Sandman is a dark fantasy series created by Neil Gaiman, launching in 1989 under DC's Vertigo imprint. The series follows Dream (also known as Morpheus), one of the seven Endless siblings who embody fundamental aspects of existence. Through mythology, horror, fantasy, and historical fiction, The Sandman explores stories of dreams, stories themselves, and the nature of reality. Widely considered one of the greatest comic series ever written, it transcended the medium to achieve mainstream literary recognition.
