Description

#1 New York Times Bestseller. Winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story. Twenty-five years after The Sandman first changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back in a deluxe edition. The Sandman: Overture heralds Neil Gaiman's return to the art form that made him famous, ably aided by artistic luminary JH Williams III (Batwoman, Promethea), whose lush, widescreen images provide an epic scope to The Sandman's origin story. From the birth of a galaxy to the moment that Morpheus is captured, The Sandman: Overture will feature cameo appearances by fan-favorite characters such as The Corinthian, Merv Pumpkinhead and, of course, the Dream King's siblings: Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium, Destruction and Destiny.
