Daniel Hall - Appearances Outside of The Sandman

Appearances Outside of The Sandman

Daniel has appeared from time to time in other Vertigo series. He was often alluded to, and infrequently appeared, in The Dreaming by Caitlin Kiernan. He appeared in Lucifer: Nirvana, helping Lucifer track an enemy that had struck through dreamers, and in The Sandman Presents: The Furies, in which he met his mortal mother for the first time since The Wake.

Within the main DC Universe, Daniel has made guest appearances in JLA #22–23, in which he helped prevent the Earth from being taken over by Starro, and in which he repaid the 'debt' his predecessor had owed the Justice League for help in finding his ruby. He also assured Kyle Rayner that he had surpassed Hal Jordan, and will continue to do so. Daniel next appeared in a handful of issues of JSA, in which he, among other things, transferred the prophetic dreams from Wesley Dodds to Sandy Hawkins. In another appearance, he prevents the time-traveling villain Degaton from tormenting his parents. Still later in the series, Daniel, in the form of a magic mirror, tells Hector Hall (reincarnated as Dr. Fate) and Lyta about Sand, who is trapped in a dream world created, again, by Brute and Glob. Daniel brought the spirits of his mortal parents to live in the Dreaming after their deaths.

Dream Girl tells Doctor Destiny that she foresaw his death, being tortured in his sleep by "the owner of the dreamstone".
