Sandman Overture (Sandman Deluxe Vol. 0)

The artwork is so atmospheric and detailed—I'm curious if the artist's vision shaped the tone or if it was a collaborative process from the start.

The elaborate world-building and dream sequences felt immersive but also a bit dense at times. Was this deliberate to evoke the surreal quality of dreams?

The story hints at the origins of Dream and the cosmic stakes involved. Did it change how you see those themes in the main series?
