Kubilai Kahn

Kubilai Kahn was one of the Great Kahn’s of the Mongol empire and the grandson of Genghis Kahn. He lived from 1215-1294.

In “Soft Places” (Sandman # 39), Marco Polo accompanied his father Nicolo Polo and uncle to China and they were given audience before Kubilai Kahn. Nicolo Polo wanted to convert Kubilai Kahn to Christianity, but the Kahn refused because his priests offered miracles and powers that even he feared.

Kubilai Kahn appears on page 12 of Sandman # 39, which is collected in Fables And Reflections.
