the comics of sandmanwritten and created by Neil Gaimanare located in the DC Universe and has some appearances by iconic characters, such as Mars Hunter and John Constantine. However, in adapting Netflixit doesn’t – and the author explained why it does.
“The Sandman himself started in the DC Universein the comics, and then it kind of ended up wandering into its own place,” said Gaiman The Variety. “His world merged more and more with our world and became less and less a world where costumed crime fighters fly and so on, which meant that when sandman ended, he had his own aesthetic that really wasn’t the DC Universe.”

Neil Gaiman: ‘Brazil was the first country to discover sandman‘
In anticipation of the launch of the series of sandman at Netflix on August 5, 2022, Neil Gaimanauthor of the comics on which the production of the streaming is based, took the opportunity to bring an interesting curiosity in a publication on Twitter: “Brazil was the first country to discover sandman.”
In addition to this revelation, the writer took the opportunity to praise the location of the iconic work in Brazil: “The comics were published there with translations in (honesty forces me to admit) much better editions than the American comics.”
“Each issue had an enlarged cover detail on the back cover and illustrated essays explaining or expanding on things in the comics,” continued Gaiman in the publication. “Brazil was the first place an audience took the stage with me (ok, that event was a little scary).”
According to the author, Brazil was the first place where he saw an adaptation of sandman: Same stage a little before, was the part Oldest Game in A Hope in Hell. So this is me giving a special hello to Brazil, and all Brazilian Sandman readers. Sweet dreams! See you at Netflix on August 5th.”
Each issue had a detail of the front cover blown up on the back cover and illustrated essays inside explaining or expanding upon things in the comic. Brazil was the first place an audience ever hit the stage with me on it (okay, that one was a bit scary) 2/3
