The Sandman Presents: Marquee Moon

The Sandman Presents: Marquee Moon was a one-shot comic-book written by Peter Hogan as a tie-in to Neil Gaiman's The Sandman. Written in 1997, the story (a followup to Hogan's miniseries The Sandman Presents: Love Street) would have taken place in 1977, featuring the mother of a werewolf character from The Sandman, as well as John Constantine from Hellblazer. It would also have featured the comic-book debut of The Clash. For reasons never made public, Vertigo opted not to publish the story after it had already been written, fully illustrated and solicited. Therefore, in 2007, Hogan allowed Rich Handley, owner of the Web site Roots of the Swamp Thing, to post the text online in its entirety. Samples of arist Peter Doherty's illustrations were also posted along with the script. The script and images can be viewed here.
