Work Description

Presents the Sandman's origin story from the birth of a galaxy to the moment that Morpheus is captured.

set the standard for mature, lyrical fantasy in the modern comics era. Illustrated by an exemplary selection of the medium's most gifted artists, the series is a rich blend of modern and ancient mythology in which contemporary fiction, historical drama, and legend are seamlessly interwoven.

Overture brings Gaiman's mesmerizing saga of the Sandman full circle, serving as both a prequel and a coda to the groundbreaking original series. Lushly illustrated by acclaimed artist J.H. Williams III, this stunning tale follows the King of Dreams as he travels across the universe--and into realms unbounded by time and space--on a fateful mission to prevent all of reality from unraveling.
