The Sandman: Overture Deluxe Edition

Neil Gaiman2015
Twenty-five years since THE SANDMAN first changed the landscape of modern comics, Neil Gaiman's legendary series is back in a deluxe hardcover edition! 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.

Wow, this is trippy even by Sandman standards! I wonder why it took me so long to finally get around to reading it. A beautiful story, told in even more beautiful art.

As someone who loves all kinds of art and has a hard time sticking to one style, Sandman is refreshing and fascinating. As Neil said, I have more questions than answers and I’m excited to read more ((I read this one before any other Sandman))

I cannot give the artwork in this issue anything less than 5 stars. Incredible. The story was also amazing, one of my favourite sandman stories.

I was up in Melville during my Johannesburg visit over the weekend and popped into Outer Limits, the comic bookstore there, to browse and was pleasantly surprised to find the deluxe edition of The Sandman: Overture. This is a beautiful prequel/lead-up to The Sandman series. Neil Gaiman is just one of the best storytellers alive but what really makes this book something special is the beautiful artwork that serves as a vehicle for the story. I applaude JH Williams III and the rest of the team who worked on the art.

I think this only gets 4 stars as I wanted more of it! more Delirium and Death! we had lots of Dream, Despair, Desire and Destiny, but they would leave us wanting more!

5 ⭐ Probably the easiest 5 stars I've ever given. This isn't a comic, this is pure art in every way possible. If you haven't read this yet then you're missing out and you should march to your closest bookstore and correct that.

This is my new favorite installment of the Sandman's journeys! The beautiful, vibrant and detailed artwork makes this easy on the eye and the story itself was truly masterful and answered some questions. I felt very satisfied when I closed the covers. The interviews at the end where fun too!!! And!!! ****slight spoiler**** Death as Mary Poppins?!?!!!!
