The next chapter of the Sandman Universe saga begins with The Dreaming: Waking Hours, and issue #1 will arrive with a variant cover by legendary artist Bill Sienkiewicz, seen below!
The Bill Sienkiewicz cover was originally solicited as the main cover for The Dreaming: Waking Hours #1. The main cover for The Dreaming: Waking Hours #1 will now be the previously released image by series artist Nick Robles.
The Dreaming: Waking Hours will introduce a new figure to the Sandman mythos: Ruin, the nightmare of catastrophic failure. As series writer G. Willow Wilson described the character on DCComics.com, Ruin is “A nightmare who falls in love with the person whose dreams he was sent to haunt. A nightmare who doesn’t want to be a nightmare and tries to change, who aches for a kind of human connection he might never have.”
The Dreaming: Waking Hours #1, by writer G. Willow Wilson and artist Nick Robles, is available to order now.
