The Sandman

A mysterious figure who stepped onto the page in 1992's The Comet #8, this DC incarnation of The Sandman was brought to life by the creative team of Tom Lyle and Mark Waid right at the cusp of the Copper and Modern Ages. With appearances stretching across three decades and a presence in titles as varied as Rom: Dire Wraiths and Millennium Edition: The Sandman 1, this character occupies a genuinely intriguing corner of the DC universe. Rare in the catalog but persistent across the years, they're a rewarding discovery for collectors who love unearthing the deeper cuts of DC's rich legacy.
