Do I need to read anything before Sandman?
It’s not advised to read the prequel The Sandman: Overture first. This is because it’s written with the assumption that you’ve read the original series. So while it’s set before The Sandman #1, it’s not a great place to start. Sandman is definitely a series that reads best when read in its original order.
