Halloween week saw the release of Sandman: Overture #1, writer Neil Gaiman‘s return to The Sandman universe in an all-new 6-issue miniseries from DC/Vertigo Comics.

The publisher has put out a TV spot for the miniseries, which you can watch here below. (Oh how I’d LOVE to see this TV spot pop up on my television!)

The miniseries, written by Gaiman, has art by J. H. Williams III (that’s a very Pink Floyd’s The Wall-esque piece from issue #1 here above), with Williams and long-time Sandman cover artist Dave McKean providing the covers.

Sandman: Overture #1 is also available right now for the Kindle, and there will be a Special Edition for the issue coming out on November 27, 2013.

Let me start off by saying – HOLY CRAP!!!! As part of today’s Kindle deals, Amazon has Neil Gaiman‘s The Sandman Vol. 1: Preludes & Nocturnes for only $2.99 – that’s 85% the list price of $19.99!!! This is a 240-page full-color graphic novel for only three bucks!

Each and every week, I, “Count Chocula” Henchman21, and “Boo Berry” Empress Eve read a lot of comics. Seriously you guys, a lot of comics. Maybe too many comics. I mean, it is possible”¦ theoretically. Naturally, we look forward to some more than others. I mean, who doesn’t? So, let’s take a look into the depths of our pull lists, grab some comics, and we’ll let YOU know what the top books to look forward to are for the week of October 30, 2013. Single issues and trades, they’re all here.

It’s Halloween, kiddies which means it’s time for us to bring you a list full of creepy tales to keep you entertained on a dark and stormy night. Or maybe you’re not into the whole horror thing and you just want to keep up with your favorite superheroes. Fortunately, we’ve got something for everyone today. So go out and pick up some comics, and if you’re got a little extra money and plan on handing out candy to the neighborhood kids, consider buying some cheap kid friendly issues out of the quarter bins and hand those out along with the candy. It’s better than handing out floss or pennies or anything that isn’t candy. If there’s one thing we don’t recommend, it’s getting your house egged because you let down all those trick or treaters. So, go out, have fun, stay safe, and enjoy comics with this extra scary edition of The GoD List!

Author Clive Barker, whose books launched the Hellraiser and Candyman film franchises, is also an accomplished artist. His artwork has accompanied several of his books, like Thief Of Always and the Abarat series.

Today, Barker posted a photo of a painting he did called “Death of the Endless” based on the character Death from Neil Gaiman‘s popular comic book series, The Sandman. A black and white version of this painting was the frontispiece for the 1996 short-story anthology novel, The Sandman: Book of Dreams.

Check out the full-color version of the painting here below.
