Tom Sturridge as #Sandman brings something to the screen we don't see often enough. Restraint. Subtlety. And a knife's edge elegance. Others would have made it bombastic and missed the quiet grace, menace, and brittle fragility. @Netflix_Sandman #SandmanonNetflix

One of the things that is really hard for people trying to get into comics to understand is you don't just get to draw what you want to draw. You have to draw what the story requires. Things you don't like. Things you're not good at.
