Winner of the 2016 Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story

Twenty-five years since
The Sandman first changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman’s legendary series is back in this never-before-told tale featuring Morpheus!

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 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.
Review
“Gaiman revisits Morpheus’s universe with warmth and renewed delight” —
Washington Post

“Gorgeous.” —
The New York Times

“Expansive and atmospheric, jammed with brainy, contemplative moments and dry humor…. Gaiman’s vivid, wild imagination is grounded in Williams’ and Stewart’s beautiful, captivating artwork….
Sandman fans will surely be elated not only by the return to the story but also by the stunning, gorgeous artwork, which outshines the original.”­­­ —
Booklist

—The Guardian
”
Sandman: Overture may go down as one of the best-drawn chapters in Sandman’s already legendary run.” 
—Newsarama
“Gaiman’s lush world is only made all-the-more incredible thanks to its visuals” —Nerdist
