Talk:Cain and Abel (comics)

Untitled

I've merged Cain (Sandman) and Abel (Sandman) because the two characters are never mentioned separately, and the two articles were near-duplicates of each other.

See the original articles for the contribution histories of the articles prior to the merge.

Might be worth moving it to Cain and Abel (comics), since they appear (and originate) elsewhere besides The Sandman. -mhr 05:18, 14

-- I don't know the issue number, as i can't seem to find my comics right now, but it is of note that both Cain and Abel make an appearance in Scarecrow's first appearance in The Batman Adventures (the comic based on B:TAS). they were in a dream sequence of Crane's, in which they offered to let him resume teaching. perhaps a nod to Gaiman for including Scarecrow in Sound and Fury? stickmangrit, 1/11/06

• Aren't their appearances based on Len Wein and Marv Wolfman (or someone)? DS 00:40, 19 Mar 2005 (UTC)

The Les Daniels book says Joe Orlando created the DC Comics versions of Cain and Abel. I didn't see this listed in the article.

Did you Ctrl-F? It states "Cain the Able Care-Taker, created by Bob Haney, Jack Sparling, and Joe Orlando, first appeared in The House of Mystery #175 (July 1968)"Scottandrewhutchins 22:43, 11 July 2006 (UTC)Scottandrewhutchins

the dreaming

from what i have read of the dreaming the charcters of cain and abel are some of the main protagonists. the book has mutch charcter development for the charcters including an explortation of cain and abel's brother seth. i personaly think this article should be reworked.--Dr noire 23:14, 14 November 2006 (UTC)

I agree. When I first got to the page, Gaiman was given way too much credit for their development to the point that mention of their earlier appearances was lip service. I haven't read The Dreaming yet (I'm still not through with 'The Sandman), so someone else is welcome to update the page. --Scottandrewhutchins 06:14, 17 November 2006 (UTC)
