New Sandman Collections Announced

By John Freeman on December 23, 2009

DC Comics imprint Vertigo has announced new, re-mastered editions of Neil Gaiman’s critically-acclaimed series, Sandman.

Beginning next year, Vertigo will publish new trade paperback editions of Sandman in ten volumes – remastered and corrected versions of the comic the Los Angeles Times Magazine called “the greatest epic in the history of comic books,” featuring newly designed covers using Dave McKean’s spectacular and innovative art.

The series was initially re-coloured for the four oversized Absolute Sandman editions.

Vertigo previewed the covers of the first two volumes – Preludes and Nocturnes and The Doll’s House – on its Graphic Content blog.
