夢是七名不可思議的強大生命無盡英語Endless (comics)之一,是比諸神更久遠也更偉大的存在。夢既是所有和敘事的主宰者,也是其擬人化;雖然這些並非現實,但他能定義夢的存在[1]。夢還擁有許多名字,包括摩耳甫斯奧涅伊洛英語Oneiros,且他的容貌會根據看到他的人而改變。夢是《睡魔》系列的主角及代表性人物,並被《帝國雜誌》評為第15大漫畫人物[2],以及在IGN網站的百大漫畫英雄排行榜中名列第15位[3]

歷史

編輯

夢是漫畫系列《睡魔》的主角,該漫畫源於尼爾·蓋曼提出重振DC漫畫作品《睡魔英語Sandman (DC Comics)#Garrett Sanford》(1974年至1976年)的建議。蓋曼很快地開始為新系列構思改善方法,並將其提交給當時的DC編輯凱倫·貝格英語Karen Berger[4]。幾個月後,貝格賦予了蓋曼一個漫畫頭銜,但他不確定他的《睡魔》是否會被接受。幾週後,貝格問蓋曼是否還對《睡魔》感興趣。蓋曼回憶說:「嗯...是的。是的,肯定是。有什麼收穫呢?(貝格說,)只有一個,我們想要一個新的睡魔,保留名字,但其餘的則取決於您。」[4]

角色設計

編輯

蓋曼用最初的形象設計了這個新角色:「一個年輕、蒼白、打赤膊的男人,被囚禁在一個很小的牢房裏,等着他的綁架者過世...像是要死了般瘦弱、留着長長的黑髮、奇怪的眼睛。」[5]蓋曼以日本和服及自己衣櫥上的花紋作為該角黑衣服上的圖樣[6]

夢的身材高䠷、瘦弱、蒼白的皮膚、黑色的頭髮及以兩顆星星代替眼睛;他的眼睛平時多為銀色、藍色或白色,但是當他生氣時,眼睛則會變成紅色。夢的外貌千變萬化,通常會隨着其所在地區和時代的着裝風格而變化。他的面孔和體格是基於1920年代的蓋曼、治療樂隊的主唱羅拔·史密斯英語Robert Smith (singer)和芭蕾舞演員法魯克·魯濟馬托夫英語Farukh Ruzimatov的結合[7][8]

夢的臉和容貌也取自包豪斯英語Bauhaus (band)樂團的主唱彼得·墨菲英語Peter Murphy (musician)[9][10]。實際上,蓋曼解釋說,墨菲是原版模特兒[11]。蓋曼還說過,《睡魔》的藝術家戴夫·麥基恩英語Dave McKean曾在《睡魔》#1封面上以彼得·墨菲為原型來繪製夢的臉[12][13]

在漫畫中,夢的對白會以黑底白字、波浪形邊框的對話框來呈現。且和其他角色不同,只有他的對白文本是句子大小寫(其他漫畫角色文本的句子皆是大寫)。

['Sandman' artist Kelly Jones talks about the inspiration behind Dream's appearance] I know Neil always said [the Sandman] was based on Robert Smith of the Cure, but I just hated the Cure. I didn't want to hear that. I was really into Peter Murphy at that time, the guy from Bauhaus. I didn't like Bauhaus, but I liked him on his own, and he had a song called 「Cut You Up" or something; it was on the radio at the time. I bought the CD, and I said, 'You know, with that big poufy hair, he looks like that guy.' At that time, Murphy was very gestural. I don't think the guy ever had a picture taken of him that wasn't angled and in deep lighting. So I took that, too. I said, 'Whenever I do him, I'm gonna do that kind of thing. And get into his face, don't just keep him in deep shadow all the time. He will be in deep shadow all the time, but I want to put across a guy who's clueless. Not stupid, but he's not understanding things.' Because he's an immortal guy who...
