I don't think I could officially authorise such an anthology (given that the Sandman is owned by DC Comics.) If someone did it, however, on the web or on paper, I would be delighted.

I'm not a comic book reader, but a friend posted this on Facebook thought y'all might like it:
Missed out on the last 40+ years of X-Men comics and feel like you need a scorecard to work out just who knows, is in love with or has married, one another? You're in luck: Such a scorecard exists.
The X-Men Universe Relationship Map - seen in miniature form below just to give you a glimpse of how insanely complicated it is - does all the heavy lifting and explains 40 years of crushes, affairs and reincarnated characters from alternate dimensions for you... As well as making you feel very curious about just how much of a slut Wolverine really is.

Am I missing something, or did Hank McCoy get left off the relationship map entirely? How can that happen—Wonder Man is right there!
