When Neil Gaiman launched The Sandman in October 1998, he had no idea that the series would run for almost 8 years. While the writer always knew the series would end, DC gave him the opportunity to complete his vision on his own terms in 1996. Still, Gaiman always believed there were aspects of The Sandman saga that still begged further exploration.
In honor of The Sandman’s 30th Anniversary, and 25 years of Vertigo comics, the two institutions teamed up for a new project, The Sandman Universe. It’s a series of 4 new stories that launched last August. Gaiman hand-picked a team of writers to collaborate with, and issue three, Lucifer is arriving this week. Scribed by Dan Watters (Limbo, Assassin’s Creed comic series)! You can learn more about The Sandman Universe and the first two installments, HERE.
Today, Dread Central is pleased to present an exclusive image gallery for Lucifer, the third installment in The Sandman Universe. Peruse these incredible panels at your leisure and order your own copy of Lucifer, HERE.
About The Sandman Universe:
Daniel, the lord of Dreams, has gone missing and it causes chaos in the kingdom of dreams…A rift between worlds has opened, revealing a space beyond the Dreaming. Meanwhile, a book from Lucien’s library of all the unwritten books ever dreamed is discovered by a group of children in the waking world. Simultaneously, a new House appears—the House of Whispers—joining the Houses of Secret and Mystery in the Dreaming. Its proprietor is a fortune teller called Erzulie, whom the inhabitants of the Dreaming suspect may be responsible for all the strange goings on. Elsewhere, Lucifer has fallen again, only this time he might be in a Hell of his own design. And in London, a young boy named Timothy Hunter sleeps, in his dreams he becomes the world’s most powerful magician, but in his nightmares, he becomes the world’s worst villain, which future will become reality?
About Lucifer:
A few years ago, the devil vanished. Some people say he died or simply ran away, while others believe he never existed at all. But we aren’t some people. No. This is the one true story of what happened to the Prince of Lies, the Bringer of Light—Lucifer, the blind, destitute old man, who lives in a small boarding house in a quiet little town, where nothing is quite what it seems and no one can leave. He’s trapped, you see? Trapped in a bizarre prison with no memory of how he got there or why. Meanwhile in Los Angeles, a dying policeman believes his suffering may be a call to a divine mission—one that draws him towards revelations regarding the devil himself.
