能力

梦是七名不可思议的强大生命无尽英语Endless (comics)之一,是比诸神更久远也更伟大的存在。梦既是所有和叙事的主宰者,也是其拟人化;虽然这些并非现实,但他能定义梦的存在[1]。梦还拥有许多名字,包括摩耳甫斯奥涅伊洛英语Oneiros,且他的容貌会根据看到他的人而改变。梦是《睡魔》系列的主角及代表性人物,并被《帝国杂志》评为第15大漫画人物[2],以及在IGN网站的百大漫画英雄排行榜中名列第15位[3]

历史

梦是漫画系列《睡魔》的主角,该漫画源于尼尔·盖曼提出重振DC漫画作品《睡魔英语Sandman (DC Comics)#Garrett Sanford》(1974年至1976年)的建议。盖曼很快地开始为新系列构思改善方法,并将其提交给当时的DC编辑凯伦·贝格英语Karen Berger[4]。几个月后,贝格赋予了盖曼一个漫画头衔,但他不确定他的《睡魔》是否会被接受。几周后,贝格问盖曼是否还对《睡魔》感兴趣。盖曼回忆说:“嗯...是的。是的,肯定是。有什么收获呢?(贝格说,)只有一个,我们想要一个新的睡魔,保留名字,但其余的则取决于您。”[4]

角色设计

盖曼用最初的形象设计了这个新角色:“一个年轻、苍白、打赤膊的男人,被囚禁在一个很小的牢房里,等着他的绑架者过世...像是要死了般瘦弱、留着长长的黑发、奇怪的眼睛。”[5]盖曼以日本和服及自己衣橱上的花纹作为该角黑衣服上的图样[6]

梦的身材高䠷、瘦弱、苍白的皮肤、黑色的头发及以两颗星星代替眼睛;他的眼睛平时多为银色、蓝色或白色,但是当他生气时,眼睛则会变成红色。梦的外貌千变万化,通常会随着其所在地区和时代的着装风格而变化。他的面孔和体格是基于1920年代的盖曼、治疗乐队的主唱罗伯特·史密斯英语Robert Smith (singer)和芭蕾舞演员法鲁克·鲁济马托夫英语Farukh Ruzimatov的结合[7][8]

梦的脸和容貌也取自包豪斯英语Bauhaus (band)乐团的主唱彼得·墨菲英语Peter Murphy (musician)[9][10]。实际上,盖曼解释说,墨菲是原版模特儿[11]。盖曼还说过,《睡魔》的艺术家戴夫·马特基恩英语Dave McKean曾在《睡魔》#1封面上以彼得·墨菲为原型来绘制梦的脸[12][13]

在漫画中,梦的对白会以黑底白字、波浪形边框的对话框来呈现。且和其他角色不同,只有他的对白文本是句子大小写(其他漫画角色文本的句子皆是大写)。

['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...
