Well, to be fair there wasnt exactly a huge inherited fanbase for him to alienate when his version of sandman came out in the late 80s.
And DC has a bad track record of reusing names for utterly different characters. Besides Sandman, Red Tornado comes to mind. It is almost like they didn't want to have to pay for an extra trademark fee or something. Jack Kirby did a reimagining of "The Sandman" in the early '70s, and he got a pass because he was Jack Kirby (many consider him the GOAT of comics artists. I'm more of a clean line Curt Swan/Kurt Schaffenberger man myself).

I like Kirby, but it was before my time. I always thought Alan Davis had a beautiful clean line for super hero comics.
