The internet is abuzz after the announcement of a Sandman adaptation, to be produced by Netflix. Neil Gaiman’s iconic character has yet to be brought to life on the screen, be it an animated or live action adaptation. Fans had reason for excitement in 2013 when Warner Bros announced a film adaptation in the works in 2013 starring Joseph Grodon-Levvitt, but after production delays and Gordon-Levitt’s departure from the project it quickly fizzled and lost any and all momentum. But while fans need no introduction, the uninitiated have found themselves asking: Just who is the Sandman?
The Sandman goes by many names. Morpheus, Dream of the Endless, the Lord of Dreams, and a few more throughout the series. The series itself was created by Gaiman in 1988 and published by DC Comics before moving to the Vertigo Imprint as of issue 47. As the title suggests, it tells the story of the Sandman, who rules over the realm of dreams, from his capture and eventual escape, to the rebuilding of his kingdom, and his ultimate destiny. One of the seven Endless, the others being Destiny, Death, Desire, Despair, Destruction, and Delirium (formerly Delight,) Dream encounters his “family” on a number of occasions, as well as a variety of other creatures and characters, ranging from Cain and Abel to the Lord of Darkness himself. With anticipation for the series only growing, we’re certainly looking forward to watching these characters come to life.
