SIMON & KIRBY reunited, so that fact alone makes this issue a collectors' item. This was a different SANDMAN to the one that the famous creators had introduced in the '40s, and was originally intended only as a one-shot. However, it must've sold reasonably well, as five more issues appeared, but Simon was absent from them. MICHAEL FLEISHER took over the scripting chores, with ERNIE CHUA (as Chan) drawing #s 2 & 3. Kirby returned to draw #s 4-6, inked by MIKE ROYER, and, in the final issue, WALLY WOOD.

I only found the first issue. Probably would have been a pretty interesting series if Simon and Kirby had stayed on it. Never read any of the other issues to compare. To be honest, I thought it was a one-shot until a few years ago.
It wasn't anything great, to be honest, G. 'Of its time' is the best that can be said of it, but far from overwhelming.
Just re-read issue 2 the other week. Awful, campy stuff from Fleisher and Chua. I don't think much of Fleisher's writing, tbh.
I haven't read them in years, Dougie. I just remember not being terribly impressed by them.
