Where it came from
Published in March 1990 as part of the Dream Country story arc, The Sandman #13, titled Men of Good Fortune, was written by Neil Gaiman with artwork by Mike Dringenberg and Malcolm Jones III. This issue serves as a foundational character study within the series, exploring the centuries-long friendship between the protagonist, Morpheus, and an immortal man named Hob Gadling. Gaiman intended for this story to anchor the series in human history, grounding the ethereal nature of the Endless in the tangible passage of time.
The issue is widely regarded by critics and readers as one of the standout chapters of the original run. Its reception was largely defined by the narrative device of checking in on Gadling every hundred years, a structure that allowed Gaiman to weave historical vignettes into the mythic framework of the Sandman universe. The minimalist cover art by Dave McKean reflects the series' signature departure from conventional superhero aesthetics, focusing instead on surrealist, painterly compositions that emphasized the thematic depth of the narrative.
