It’s not advised to read the prequel The Sandman: Overture first. This is because it’s written with the assumption that you’ve read the original series. So while it’s set before The Sandman #1, it’s not a great place to start. Goldberg, Matt (October 20, 2015). " Sandman: Producer David Goyer Comments on When It Might Go into Production". Collider.

Johns, Geoff( w), Ordway, Jerry( p), Faucher, Wayne( i)."Waking the Sandman Part One: Insomnia" JSA,no.63(September 2004). This Vertigo series told a pair of parallel stories – one of a new, modern-day Sandman superhero, and one depicting the final adventure of the JSA version of Dodds prior to his death in JSA Secret Files [and Origins] (1999) #1. Due to the prolonged development period of the film, in 2010, DC Entertainment shifted focus onto developing a television series adaptation. Film director James Mangold pitched a series concept to cable channel HBO, whilst consulting with Gaiman himself on an unofficial basis, but this proved to be unsuccessful. It was reported in September 2010 that Warner Bros. Television was licensing the rights to produce a TV series, and that Supernatural creator Eric Kripke was their preferred candidate to adapt the saga. In March 2011, it was announced via Neil Gaiman's web blog that while he and DC liked Eric Kripke and his approach, it did not feel quite right. The author hoped to launch the series in another form but plans for a television adaptation are on hold as production moves forward on the film.
