From a (positive) review of the final issue of Lucifer:

Vertigo have released countless Sandman spin-offs over the years, of which this is just one. The numbers have dwindled recently, but back in the day you couldn’t move for stories featuring a minor character who had three lines of dialogue in Sandman #17, usually discovering the exciting world of lesbianism and tarot. Most of them were, shall we say, less than memorable.
