Parallels between Johanna Constantine in The Sandman, and Clara Oswald in Doctor Who
Some more parallels:
Johanna / Clara is told about Morpheus / the Doctor before they first meet them by a mad, immortal woman.
Morpheus / The Doctor has previously met a very similar character in the past, who has a very similar name, who is also played by Jenna Coleman.
A lot of the story revolves around Johanna's / Clara's relationship with their girlfriend / boyfriend, how they die, how that affects Johanna / Clara, and how she can subsequently teach Morpheus / the Doctor an important lesson.
Johanna and Clara are bi.
Johanna & Morpheus, and Clara & the Doctor are equals to each other, and interact in that way as well.
Both Lady Johanna and Clara are involved in the story of Orpheus. In the Sandman (in later comics), Lady Johanna Constantine saves Orpheus from the French Revolution, and is ultimately buried on the island of Orpheus. As concerns Clara, Face the Raven / Heaven Sent / Hell Bent is pretty much the Doctor Who rendition of the legend of Orpheus and Eurydice.
