One of the five S-Men, the Sandman is a magical being whose job is to help induce sleep. He travels the world, putting creatures of all kinds to sleep by tossing magical sleep sand into their eyes. The Sandman is a glittering sand color all over, about fourteen inches high, and very thin. His hat and shoes are pointy; and he has a long beard, curled in a spiral like a corkscrew that reaches all the way down to his pointed toes.
