- Referenced by…: In The Sandman #2, Abel identifies himself to the weakened and disoriented Morpheus as "the victim" from "the first story." In a broader sense, "Abandoned Houses" was the first story to introduce the idea that the Houses of Secrets and Mystery could be visited in dreams, a detail that Gaiman would later expand upon in The Sandman. It was also the first DC story that depicted Cain murdering Abel, which would later become the basis for a Running Gag in Sandman.
