Neil Gaiman’s comic The Sandman is an influential franchise and a fan favorite for worldwide readers. The graphics and dialogues of the comic books took place in people’s hearts. While its recreation into the Netflix series made fans wonder what it would be like watching the Endless onscreen, the series has finally been released on the streamer appealing to fans for its impressive cast and adventure.

After escaping his captive, King of The Dreaming embarks on a quest to win back his lost equipment that is the source of his power. But does this adaptation stay true to the source? Or has it strayed away from the real storyline? Keep reading to know the details of how the show has weaved the legendary storyline of this fantasy book.

The Sandman has exhibited the exact world of the graphic comic in the show

The Sandman debuted on Netflix with raving reviews from fans, who loved the authentic adaptation of the comic series created by Gaiman. For non-comic readers, this may come as new information. And for the same reason, the official page of Still Watching Netflix recently posted a short on YouTube drawing lines between the show and comics. The video started the very first scene of episode 1 of the series when Roderick Burgess, played by Charles Dance, is summoning an Endless. The sorcerer and his followers have created a den to capture this powerful entity with their enchantments.

In the episode, we see Roderick becoming obsessed with bringing back his elder dead son by taming Death in the circle. He tries to do so by uttering the words, “I summon you in the names of the old lord.”

However, by some mistake in the ritual, they trap the King of Dreams, Morpheus, instead. The Netflix video compared the same scene from the show and comics. And it’s astounding to know that there is not even the slightest of change in the scene. The dialogues, expressions, views, and energy; everything is almost identical. Meanwhile, the scene remarkably executed Dream’s capture and his capture stealing his totems of powers from him.
