Sandman: Overture Signed Editions

Approx. 1 min read · 5 May 2026

Sandman: Overture marked Gaiman’s return to the character after nearly twenty years. Published by DC/Vertigo as six issues (2013–2015), with breathtaking art by J.H. Williams III, the series depicts the event that caused Morpheus to be weakened and captured in Sandman #1. The art is among the most visually ambitious work ever published in mainstream comics.
