The DC Universe Built on Dreams

The Sandman series populates the DC Universe with a vast array of gods, angels, and fairies. While these characters share a world with heroes like Batman, their stories exist on a separate, supernatural plane.

Most fans know DC for colorful superheroes, but this saga introduces a complex mythology of entities living within the realm of dreams. It features ancient deities and demons that operate mostly on the fringes of the mainstream comic book world. By blending high fantasy with modern storytelling, it transformed how readers perceive the scale of the DC multiverse. This unique foundation allows for dark, philosophical tales that feel distinct from traditional superhero adventures.
