The Sandman is a comic book series written by Neil Gaiman and published in the United States by the DC Comics imprint Vertigo. It chronicles the adventures of Dream of The Endless, who rules over the world of dreams, in 75 issues from 1989 until 1996.
The Sandman's main character is Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, who is essentially the anthropomorphic personification of dreams.
At the start of the series, Morpheus is captured by an occult ritual
and held prisoner for 70 years. Morpheus escapes in the modern day and
sets about rebuilding his kingdom, which has fallen into disrepair in
his absence. Gaiman himself has summarized the plot of the series (in
the foreword to Endless Nights) as "The Lord of Dreams learns that one must change or die, and makes his decision."
