Shakespeare stole all his ideas… from the god of Dreams One of the greatest comic book series of all time, Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman plays with almost all human culture, so how could Gaiman overlook Shakespeare? In The Sandman #19, Shakespeare plays Midsummer Night’s Dream for an audience of fairies. In The Sandman #75, Shakespeare longs to retire his magic pen just once he’s finished his play about Prospero laying down his magic wand. Is Neil Gaiman’s use of Shakespeare more than just a clever idea? Michael and Sophie find out! Sources: Neil Gaiman, The Sandman (DC Comics)
