"Sandman 6" content introduction

Sandman is one of the best-selling and critically acclaimed comic books of all time. It set the standard for mature, poetic fantasy in the field of comics.

Sandman, a melancholy man in a black trench coat with star-like eyes. He's not a god, he's not a demon, he's not a superhero, he's Neil Gaiman's Dream Master, he's part of an endless family of powerful and mysterious people in the DC universe.

As Neil Gaiman's masterpiece, "The Sandman" tells the legend of the master of dreams in a deep, beautiful and poetic tone. It consists of several separate chapters, but all the stories are inextricably linked. Its framework is grand and spans infinite time and space: from ancient barbarians to the streets of New York, from reality to fantasy, whether gods and ghosts, superheroes, or ordinary mortals of life, all participate in the performance of this tragicomedy. The participation of different cartoonists makes "Sandman" full of diversified artistic styles, and the picture language is as colorful as a dream.

The Sandman has become a comic book masterpiece on par with Watchmen and The Dark Knight Returns, and has evolved into a cultural phenomenon with global influence.

Augustus, the great ruler of ancient Rome, one day suddenly called an actor and asked him to dress up as a beggar and spend a day in the bustling market.
