But Sandman is by no means the only Vertigo comic to have impressive cover art; indeed all of the titles bear cover art that is created by some of the most talented artists working in the comic book industry.
While the Sandman and Moonshadow series' each employed one artist to create all of its cover art, other Vertigo titles showcase the work of different artists from month to month.
As you can see by the cover to the left from Sandman #52, his work has gone far beyond making a cover a mere accessory to the contents of a comic book - it is truly a work of art in itself.

 The Friday Review: Lucifer: Devil in the Gateway
While Vertigo can be accused of strip-mining the SANDMAN name and legacy, LUCIFER does not suffer from the same sort of mediocrity and blandness that has plagued most SANDMAN offshoots, and its origins should not be held against it.
Mike Carey's LUCIFER is the latest in a long line of SANDMAN-themed comics from Vertigo.
Lucifer is not the architect of the suffering seen in these stories.

Since the closure of the Sandman series, the Lucifer Morningstar character has since been continued in a Sandman spin-off series, see Lucifer (Vertigo).
This incarnation of Lucifer Morningstar ('the devil'), first appeared as a supporting character in Neil Gaiman's seminal comics masterpiece The Sandman.
In it, he was the ruler of Hell, who decided to quit, partly because he was bored/fed up/etc., and partly to create problems for Dream of the Endless.

 RftFP: History of DC/Vertigo
Along the way, Vertigo has remained firm in their commitment to producing high-quality entertainment for those that are tired of superheros, and wish for something a little.
In January 1989, Neil Gaiman started writing The Sandman, a series about the Lord of Dreams, which was to prove at times brooding, bedazzling or clever, but always powerful, with a wide variety of art teams, picked to suit each story.
The existing titles (Swamp Thing, Sandman, Hellblazer, Doom Patrol, Animal Man and Shade:The Changing Man), together with three titles rescued from an attempt to form a Mature Readers line at Disney Comics (!), were placed under the group editorship of Karen Berger, who had been editing the majority of the in-house DC Mature Reader's already.

 eG - Features - Comix Supplement: Comix for Grown Ups
The art in most issues of Vertigo’s Sandman series, considered to be the most successful “Mature Readers” title in history, was simply wretched.
Largely based on the success of titles like Neil Gaiman’s Black Orchid and his critically acclaimed Sandman series, DC created the Vertigo imprint as a separate entity from their standard superhero line.
Where the success of a superhero comic is most often a result of the art, the most successful mature titles rely on strong writing for their sales.

 Sequential Tart: Mike Carey - A Care for the Devil (vol V/iss 9/September 2002)
Looking back to when you first began on Sandman Presents: The Morningstar Option, could you foresee yourself continuing to write the trials and tribulations of Lucifer Morningstar as long as you have?
ST: As a spin-off of the popular Sandman, Lucifer came onto the scene in a very shaky way.
Lucifer's struggle against God is like every child's struggle against their parents to establish themselves as autonomous beings — only Lucifer carries it a lot further than most of us do, as though he wants to annul all debts and all inheritances.

 The Dreaming: The Neil Gaiman Page
Caitlin Kiernan was the regular author for Vertigo's THE DREAMING from 1998 to 2001, was a contributing author to THE SANDMAN: BOOK OF DREAMS, and is the creator of THE GIRL WHO WOULD BE DEATH and BAST: ETERNITY GAME.
She is principally responsible for the creation of DC's Vertigo line, and for hiring Neil Gaiman to write its flagship title, THE SANDMAN.
Charles Vess was the artist for both Shakespeare SANDMAN stories (the World Fantasy Award-winning #19 "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and Eisner Award-winning #75 "The Tempest"), and has since collaborated with Neil Gaiman on a variety of other projects, including BOOKS OF MAGIC, BALLADS & SAGAS, and STARDUST.

 Heaven, Hell and Comic Books
From SANDMAN to PREACHER, Christian myth and imagery has been a recurring theme in comics - especially at DC's Vertigo imprint.
The same is true of the central moment in SANDMAN's 'Season of Mists', when Lucifer has Dream cut off his wings and resigns the rule of Hell.
LUCIFER author Mike Carey believes this is due to familiarity rather than faith.
