Brute

Brute is a dream-realm entity created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby, who serves as a companion and manipulator within the Sandman's world of dreams. He works alongside a fellow creature called Glob, guiding and influencing the dream-guardian Garrett Sanford.

Born from the legendary partnership of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby in the Bronze Age debut of The Sandman #1 (1974), Brute is a DC character whose origins carry the unmistakable stamp of two of comics' greatest architects. Appearing across a remarkable span stretching into 2021, this figure has kept remarkable company over the decades — sharing pages with the likes of Green Lantern, The Flash, and Garrett Sanford. Though Brute's catalog footprint is compact, the pedigree of that debut alone makes every appearance worth tracking down for any serious collector of Bronze Age DC history.
