Sandman (Wesley Dodds) is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. The first of several DC characters to bear the name Sandman, he was created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Bert Christman. Attired in a green business suit, a fedora, and a World War I gas mask, the Sandman used a gun emitting a sleeping gas to sedate criminals. He was originally one of the mystery men to appear in comic books and other types of adventure fiction in the 1930s but later was outfitted with a unitard/cowl costume and developed into a proper superhero, acquiring sidekick Sandy, and founding the Justice Society of America.

dbo:abstract
  • The Sandman ist der Titel einer Reihe von Comicveröffentlichungen, die der US-amerikanische Verlag National Publications zwischen 1939 und 1953 herausgab. Die Comics der Reihe erzählen die Abenteuer des Millionärs Wesley Dodds, der – ausgestattet mit einem Anzug, einem breitkrempigen Hut, einer Gasmaske und einem Arsenal an Betäubungsgasen (denen er seinen Namen verdankt) – auf Verbrecherjagd geht. Genremäßig sind die Geschichten nahezu ausnahmslos eine Mischung aus den Bereichen Science-Fiction und Abenteuer. Publikationsgeschichtlich gelten die The Sandman-Comics als Vorgänger der von Neil Gaiman geschaffenen Serie Sandman, die seit 1989 von DC Comics, dem Nachfolgeverlag von National Publications, herausgegeben wird.

  • Sandman (Wesley Dodds) is a superhero who appears in American comic books published by DC Comics. The first of several DC characters to bear the name Sandman, he was created by writer Gardner Fox and artist Bert Christman. Attired in a green business suit, a fedora, and a World War I gas mask, the Sandman used a gun emitting a sleeping gas to sedate criminals. He was originally one of the mystery men to appear in comic books and other types of adventure fiction in the 1930s but later was outfitted with a unitard/cowl costume and developed into a proper superhero, acquiring sidekick Sandy, and founding the Justice Society of America. Like most DC Golden Age superheroes, the Sandman fell into obscurity in the 1940s and eventually other DC characters took his name. During the 1990s, when writer Neil Gaiman's Sandman (featuring Morpheus, the anthropomorphic embodiment of dreams) was popular, DC revived Dodds in Sandman Mystery Theatre, a pulp/noir series set in the 1930s. Wizard Magazine ranked Wesley Dodds among the Top 200 Comic Book Characters of All Time, and he is the oldest superhero in terms of continuity to appear on the list. (en)

  • Wesley Dodds è un personaggio immaginario dei fumetti pubblicati dalla DC Comics, creato dallo scrittore Gardner Fox e dal disegnatore . Fu il primo di molti personaggi della DC a portare il nome di Sandman. Vestito con un abito verde da uomo d'affari, un cappello, e una maschera anti-gas, Sandman utilizzava una pistola in grado di emettere un potente gas soporifero per sedare i criminali. In origine, fu uno dei primi uomini mascherati ad apparire nei fumetti e nelle fiction d'avventura degli anni trenta, ma più tardi fu sviluppato in un supereroe più appropriato, con l'aggiunta di una spalla, Sandy, e unendosi alla Justice Society of America. Mentre la prima apparizione del personaggio è solitamente avvenuta in Adventure Comics n. 40 nel luglio 1939, comparve anche in New York World's Fair Comics della DC, sempre nel 1939. Gli storici credono fosse stato presentato settimane prima che la storia di Adventure Comics fosse scritta ed illustrata. Creig Flessel, che illustrò la maggior parte delle prime avventure di Sandman, fu spesso accreditato come co-creatore per aver disegnato la copertina dell'eroe su Adventure Comics n. 40. Come molti dei personaggi della Golden Age, Sandman fu dimenticato negli anni quaranta ed infine altri supereroi presero il suo nome. Durante gli anni novanta, quando il Sandman dello scrittore Neil Gaiman divenne famoso, la DC rinnovò il personaggio di Dodds in Sandman Mystery Theater, una serie pulp / noir ambientata negli anni '30. Il Wizard Magazine mise Wesley Dodds tra i 200 Più Grandi Personaggi dei Fumetti di Tutti I Tempi: è il più vecchio supereroe in termini di continuità a comparire nella lista. (it)
