Following the success of Alan Moore’s Swamp Thing, DC Comics helped usher in the Modern Age of comics by hiring several young British writers in the late 1980s, most notably Grant Morrison and Neil Gaiman. Gaiman wrote an acclaimed miniseries, Black Orchid (1988–89), which included many of the same elements as Swamp Thing, before launching The Sandman. DC had published several other characters under the name “Sandman,” most notably a Golden Age crime fighter and a short-lived mystical superhero created by Joe Simon and Jack Kirby during the 1970s, but Gaiman’s Sandman bore little relation to these characters. Instead, the series embraced the field of modern British horror, though it was still clearly a part of the DC Universe.
