I chuckled to myself when I read that Sandman writer Neil Gaiman was concerned about messing with the source material. His own incarnation of The Sandman is VERY far removed from the original DC Comics Sandman in 1939.

Well, to be fair there wasn’t exactly a huge inherited fanbase for him to alienate when his version of sandman came out in the late 80s. Star Wars and Trek pretty much kept up their gigantic fanbases who wanted good movies and series.
