But after about 20 issues, it was decided the series would get a regular writer, Caitlin R. “The Dreaming” was originally conceived of as an anthology series, letting different writers and artists play with characters from Gaiman’s mythos in short-arc or single-issue tales.
Gaiman himself has expanded on the initial “Sandman” series, with original graphic novels like “Endless Nights,” text with spot illustration like “The Dream Hunters,” and the prequel miniseries “Sandman: Overture,” not to mention a pair of miniseries featuring Dream’s big sister, Death.īut what about the stories by other creators that serve as predecessors to “Sandman Universe”? Let’s take a trip through some of those tales of dreams and devils, stories that cross genre and build on the world of “The Sandman.” While not a comprehensive list, these are the best and most important spin-offs from “The Sandman” to date. But this isn’t the first time DC has told stories from other creators in Gaiman’s world of The Dreaming. And since this is comics, that door has been opened more than once.ĭC last week announced a new “Sandman Universe” line, curated by Gaiman to tell stories set in and around the world of Dream. Neil Gaiman’s seminal Vertigo fantasy-horror series “The Sandman” ended in February 1996 with issue #75, wrapping up the tale of Dream of the Endless, while leaving the door open for tales of a new incarnation of the lord of dreams, as well as his supporting cast.
