Ezra Paulsen

A supporting figure from the Bronze Age pages of DC's The Sandman, Ezra Paulsen made his debut in the very first issue of the 1974 series — a landmark launch crafted by the legendary duo of Joe Simon and Jack Kirby. His handful of appearances across the short-lived but fondly remembered 1974–75 run place him in vivid company, sharing those dream-drenched pages with the Sandman himself, Garrett Sanford, and the memorable creatures Glob and Brute. With only four catalog appearances to his name, Ezra is a quiet corner of Kirby-era DC history — the kind of character that makes hunting through Bronze Age back issues such a rewarding adventure for the dedicated collector.
