(originally JLA 22-23) I mean... wow.... how unexpected. Does anyone know what the fan reaction/feedback was around the time of original release?

Several other ties as well. I think Gaiman knew DC would want to use the Lord of Dreams after his Sandman series ended, which is why he replaced him with the white-haired one by having Daniel "grow up" suddenly. Now DC can use the Lord of Dreams, but Gaiman can still keep his character really "his", y'know? BTW, the Sandman also made a brief appearance in the AMBUSH BUG NOTHING SPECIAL back in the early '90s. It was pure Giffen.

What? Really? I know she appeared in an issue of the Hulk - giving someone a wedding present (a silver brush or mirror from memory) but we never actually see her face.
