The Corinthian is a fictional character in
Neil Gaiman's
comic book series
The Sandman. He can first be seen in
The Sandman #10 (October 1989), which is part of the second story arc,
The Doll's House. The Corinthian is a nightmare created by
Dream, who destroys him in the same collection for going rogue and failing to fulfill his original design. Dream later recreates him with "some changes", though the exact nature of these changes is not explicit. His most notable physical feature is his lack of eyes: in their place, two rows of small, jagged teeth line each eye socket, which he often covers with sunglasses. He can speak, eat, see, and even
respire through these mouths.
