The original artist’s depiction of Morpheus was based on Peter Murphy in the beginning of The Hunger, later artists used Robert Smith as a model but kept the Bauhaus cheekbones.

Sandman is one of the best things to ever happen to the comics world.

Doesn’t Siouxsie Sioux kind of look like the closest to a human being resembling Death? I thought that when I read they were making a film out of the high cost of living… maybe that’s just me

Maybe Gaiman was inspired by them? The various musicians listed in above as well. It would make sense… I can see the artist asking him “so what do these characters look like?” and getting a response along the line of “I dunno, goth musicians, I s’pose…” lol

I heard he was based more on Peter Murphy, but, you know, same dif.
And on a side note, John Constantine is based on Treacle and Brimstone era Sting.

That is so racist. In the name of all cartoon characters, I must demand a public apology.

Of course Delirium looks like Tori Amos, Neil did that on purpose, they are good friends and reference one another often. Although I think you knew that.

Indeed Best. Comic. Ever.

I’m pretty sure the artist is Jill Thompson, the illustrator for Sandman: Brief Lives. Also, in the Sandman Companion by Hy Bender, Neil specifically states that Dream’s appearance was based on Robert Smith.

Best. Comic. Ever.

Edward Scissorhands was based off Robert so maybe the Sandman was too…

YEah. Morpheus is way cuter than Robert Smith. Much cuter.

I agree. I think Sandman looks more like Daniel Ash of Bauhaus.

By: Katie

Okay. Chronology. Robert, Morpheus, Edward. Got it? Good.

And for the record, I like Head on the Door. And Sandman pwns EVERYTHING on this page.

So? Gaiman created the character and described him to the artist, who then drew him according to Gaiman’s vision.

By: Kinseth

Kinseth — Tue, 01 Sep 2009 01:22:08 +0000

Hooray Morpheus!

Personally, though, I like the way Death looks.

By: philip

Except that Neil Gaiman didn’t draw that. Not sure who’s art that is. P. Craig Russell, maybe?

Black haired, pale, white skinned inspired-by-rockstar character drawn by various artists looks like another rockstar? No wai. The Sandman came before Edward Scissorhands BTW.

Still, it’s an amazing series. The Sandman’s awesome.

maybe because the visual part of the character was based on him?
