The comic book Sandman created by Neil Gaiman, Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg and published by DC Comics got a lot more attention this year with the launch of the Netflix TV adaptation. Already a highly collectible comic book, this just turned the gas hob up a notch or two on the heat that was already there. Heritage Auctions has a number of key Sandman issues up for auction and going under the hammer today in a variety of grades. From the first issue to the first appearance of Lucifer (who got his own TV series spinoff), John Constantine’s first Sandman appearance, and issues from Seasons Of Mist, to be covered in Sandman series 2 and A Game Of You, presumably for a future series 3. Take a look and see what you can afford.
