The gateway story to the ground-breaking and New York Times best-selling Sandman series by multi award-winning author Neil Gaiman is collected here in an Absolute over-sized edition!

In 2013, New York Times bestselling author and master of modern fantasy Neil Gaiman returned to the world of the Dreaming for his first full-length tale of the Sandman in nearly 20 years. Ranging across the universe and through realms unbound by time and space, the stunning prequel to the original Sandman saga was sumptuously illustrated by critically acclaimed artist J.H. Williams III and colorist Dave Stewart over six enthralling issues.

This definitive collector's edition of the landmark series features a foreword by Gaiman, behind-the-scenes retrospectives and a special sketchbook section from Williams, a never-before-seen artist's edition of the story showcasing Williams's original artwork for each page, and Gaiman's complete script for issue #1.
