The Sandman Merv Pumpkinhead Casting Announcement Coming, Says Neil Gaiman
Comics creator and series executive producer Neil Gaiman says The Sandman's Merv Pumpkinhead casting announcement is coming soon. First appearing in Gaiman's 1989 Sandman collection of Preludes & Nocturnes issues, Mervyn «Merv» Pumpkinhead works as Dream's janitor and is an animated scarecrow with the head of a jack-o'-lantern. Merv is well-known for striking appearance resembling that of L. Frank Baum's Jack Pumpkinhead from the Oz books, frequently smoking a cigar and complaining about his essentially unnecessary job given Dream's ability to change the world of the Dreaming at any time.
