THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE #1
Written by Neil Gaiman, art by J.H. Williams III, covers by J.H. Williams III and Dave McKean.
Twenty-five years since The Sandman changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back!
The
Sandman: Overture heralds New York Times best-selling writer Neil
Gaiman's return to the art form that made him famous, ably abetted by JH
Williams III, 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.
"People
have often asked me what happened to Morpheus to make it possible for
him to be captured in The Sandman #1," Gaiman said. "And now they get to
find out. And finding out, they get to learn secrets of the Endless
that I've kept to myself for 25 years. Family secrets. And I should warn
you: one of the Endless dies on page five."
The first issue of this 6-issue, bimonthly miniseries features a double-page interior foldout.
