It’s been more than 30 years since the first issue of “The Sandman” debuted in 1989 from DC Comics. The book catapulted writer Neil Gaiman to fame for his intricate layers of storytelling that didn’t hesitate to dive into the metaphysical and metaphorical.
Previous screen adaptations failed to come to fruition, largely because the universe of ‘The Sandman’ seemed almost impossible to bring to life in the length of a film. The comic book tells the story of Dream/Morpheus/The Sandman, one of The Endless – godlike personifications of the human experience who each rule over their own kingdom. At the beginning of the series, Dream has been in prison for a century. His absence has led to human suffering and the decay of order; now that he’s escaped imprisonment, he must try to rebuild his domain.
But representing different genders and races was a part of the storytelling from the beginning, Gaiman said. “I don’t know if we were ahead of our time…it was just in there, baked into the foundations.”
