When the Sandman comics came out in 1989 by Neil Gaiman, it was an instant hit. DC comics sold thousands of copies and the character & universe gained cult popularity. It is a fantasy drama with aspects of superhero and horror.
After 32 years, anyone who has read the Sandman comics, finally his dreams are going really, as we mentioned in the first line.
Please note that HBO is not involved in it. Warner Bros Television & DC Entertainment is producing this along with Phantom Four (David S Goyer) & The Blank Corporation (Neil Gaiman).
