A character in Neil Gaiman's popular Sandman comic book series.
Goldie is a pet (baby) gargoyle, given to Abel by his brother Cain in Preludes and Nocturnes the first volume of Sandman series. Abel originally intended to name him 'Irving' after 'an old friend', but Cain insisted that Gargoyle's names must all begin with a "G". Cain then proceeded to murder Abel over this, after which when coming back to life Abel named the gargoyle Goldie.
Goldie also appeares for a short scene in The Doll's House in which he is sitting upon Abel's shoulder as Lucien asks Abel about the inhabitants of the house. He later appears throughout the Parliament of Rooks story in Fables and Reflections, and briefly at the beginning of Brief Lives.
