Last month, DC reunited with legendary author Neil Gaiman to introduce The Sandman Universe, a new line of graphic novels conjuring epic storytelling, and immersing the readers into the evolving world of the Dreaming. This expanded universe of books introduced new, untapped corners of the Sandman world, including new characters, a new House, a Voodoo Goddess and so much more. This month the story continues in Books of Magic Vol. 1: Moveable Type, available this July.
Sometimes magic is not the answer to all problems. In fact, sometimes it creates even more trouble.

Luckily, a new teacher named Ms. Rose is ready to take the young magician under her wing and educate him in the magical arts so that he can discover the secrets behind the Books of Magic…
