The Official Synopsis of The Sandman: The Complete Shakespeare Collection #1 comic:
Perhaps no other literary figure has been more closely associated with The Sandman than playwright William Shakespeare. A Midsummer Night’s Dream from The Sandman #19 established that Auberon, Titania, and other faerie characters from Will’s plays existed within the Sandman Universe, and issue #75 revealed the full extent of the bargain made between Morpheus and Shakespeare that allowed his work to inspire humanity for generations to come.
