In 1990, Gaiman partnered with famed writer Terry Pratchett for Good Omens, about an angel and demon who reluctantly team up to stop the apocalypse. But that's only one major success he's known for. Since its initial publication, the comic book has spawned two successful television shows (including the new Netflix smash hit), and created an entire Sandman universe within DC, separate from the Batman and Superman comics most fans have heard of. The series begins with Dream's capture at the hands of a human occultist and subsequently follows Dream's escape, repair of the dream realm, and his conflicts with his siblings and other supernatural beings, like Lucifer. He's one of The Endless, a family of beings including Death, Destiny, Desire, Despair, Delirium, and Destruction. Spanning 75 issues, The Sandmanfollows Morpheus (also called Dream), who rules over the land of dreams. The British writer began his career in the 1980's, making his name through (surprisingly) writing a biography on Duran Duran before breaking into the comic book industry with Black Orchid and working with DC Comics to reinvent the character The Sandman in 1989.
