This October, author Neil Gaiman returns to the realm of the Endless. THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE will unite Gaiman with visionary artist J.H. Williams III and reveal a previously untold story in THE SANDMAN mythos.
Starting on October 30th, Gaiman returns to his beloved universe for the first time in more than 10 years since ending the series. The story will explore Morpheus' world before he was captured.
"This is the one story that we never got to tell," Gaiman told The New York Times today. "In SANDMAN #1 Morpheus is captured somehow. Later on in the series, you learn he was returning from somewhere far, far away - but we never got to the story of what he was doing and what had happened. This is our chance to tell that story, and J.H. Williams III is drawing it. It's the most beautiful thing in the world."
THE SANDMAN: OVERTURE will be published bi-monthly with issue #1 arriving on October 30th, 2013. .
UPDATE: More new art!
