Dream (Tom Sturridge) with the librarian, Lucienne (Vivienne Acheampong).
WHEN THE SANDMAN was first published by DC in late 1988, it defied every expectation of what a mainstream comic-book should do. It wasn’t written for pubescent boys of all ages; its readership skewed older, and more female. It was metaphysical, romantic and dialogue-led rather than action-packed. And its protagonist wasn’t a superhero. He was the aloof, flawed Morpheus, the lord of dreams, whose siblings included Desire, Despair and Death. It was bold, progressive (for example featuring non-binary and trans characters) and, over time, a huge hit.
