Editing List of The Sandman characters (section)

====Brute and Glob====
'''Brute and Glob''' are two trouble-making nightmares who try to gain power during Dream's absence. They originally appeared in [[Jack Kirby]]'s 1974 ''[[Sandman (DC Comics)|Sandman]]'' series, as sidekicks to the title character, and continued as such when [[Hector Hall]] became the Sandman in ''[[Infinity Inc.]]'' In the original comics, Brute was similar to [[Thing (comics)|Thing]] where he shouted "It's clobberin' time!" and often referred to his Uncle Harry.

In ''[[The Sandman: The Doll's House|The Doll's House]]'', it is revealed that they controlled the Sandmen in secret whereupon Dream exiled them to "the darkness" (a place of imprisonment and, presumably, torture, within the Dreaming).

Near the end of ''[[The Sandman: The Kindly Ones|The Kindly Ones]]'', the Furies tell Dream that they have released his prisoners from the darkness, but Brute and Glob are neither mentioned nor seen in this volume or in ''[[The Sandman: The Wake|The Wake]]''.

They next appear in ''The Dreaming'' #57–60, ''The Sandman Presents: Everything You Always Wanted To Know About Dreams&nbsp;... But Were Afraid to Ask'', and ''[[Lucifer (DC Comics)|Lucifer]]'' #15, where they attempt to kidnap [[Elaine Belloc]].

They subsequently reappear in ''[[Justice Society of America|JSA]]'' #64, again trying to manipulate a human connected to the Dreaming ([[Sandy Hawkins]]) into their own "Sandman"; but Daniel Hall returns them to the darkness. The two entities claim this area of darkness is filled with pleasing childhood dreams, which they despise. First appearance: ''The Sandman'' vol. 1 #1.

In the podcast, Brute and Glob are voiced by [[Kerry Shale]] and Harry Myers.

In the Netflix series, their role as the manipulator of Jed Walker is replaced by Gault.
