Neil Gaiman

It’s been more than 30 years since you started writing The Sandman. What was it like to revisit? It felt like we were doing something that was literally impossible. I’d spent 30 years waiting for somebody to make a bad Sandman film. And just hoping that if I was really lucky, maybe it wouldn’t be bad.

Mostly going through the old comics reminded us the had been rather ahead of its time. Back when nobody commented on the fact that it was filled with gay characters, trans characters, and Black characters. We actually had gone and made something that felt pretty much of its time.
