ABSOLUTE SANDMAN OVERTURE

Neil Gaiman returned recently to his award-winning creation, after seventeen years away, with his first new Sandman story by renowned artist J.H. Williams III. Here we are treated to that fine novel, which offers a prequel to the entire series, explaining how Morpheus came to be a prisoner in his own universe in an exclusive deluxe format! This collects the entire story, plus sketches, interviews, design concepts and an abundance of never-before-seen bonus material. Twenty-five years since The Sandman first 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 artistic luminary J.H. 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 features 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.
