Apparently, pop culture is a respectable field of academic inquiry.
Here's a thesis on Joss Whedon, Firefly and Faith, written for an MA in a divinity school in the US.
With this in mind, I do not see how Neil Gaiman's Sandman falls outside academic respectability. Just because it's a comic book (if you say "graphic novel", I will kick your pretentious ass) does not make it an illegitimate field of academic inquiry. If divinity school can do Firefly, Literature can do Sandman.
There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio*, than what is contained in your philosophy.
