Editing The Sandman: Season of Mists (section)

==Overview==
The issues in the collection first appeared in 1990 and 1991. The collection first appeared in paperback and hardback in 1992 with an introduction by [[Harlan Ellison]]. The title is the opening phrase of [[John Keats]]' "[[To Autumn]]".

It was preceded by ''[[The Sandman: Dream Country|Dream Country]]'' and was followed by ''[[The Sandman: A Game of You|A Game of You]]''. The 2003 graphic novel ''[[Death: At Death's Door]]'' and ''[[Dead Boy Detectives]]'' mini-series by [[Jill Thompson]] are also related.

Kelley Jones penciled the bulk of the story, inked in various issues by Malcolm Jones, Dick Giordano and P. Craig Russell. Jones's larger-than-life grotesques and obvious sense of humour make him ideal for [[deity|gods]], [[demons]] and other supernatural figures. His episodes are bookended by a [[prologue]] and an [[epilogue]] drawn by Mike Dringenberg, the former inked by Malcolm Jones III, the latter by George Pratt; and an [[Entr'acte|interlude]] set in an English boarding school is drawn by Matt Wagner and inked by Jones III. It introduces Endless siblings [[Destiny (Sandman)|Destiny]] and [[Delirium (Sandman)|Delirium]], and features [[Thor]], [[Odin]] and [[Loki]] from [[Norse mythology]]; [[Anubis]] and [[Bastet|Bast]] from [[Egyptian mythology]]; [[Susanoo-no-mikoto]] from [[Japanese mythology]]; [[Lucifer]] and the [[angels]] Duma and Remiel from [[Christianity]]; Shivering Jemmy, a [[Lords of Chaos and Order|Lord of Chaos]] with the body of a child and the mind of a monster; Kilderkin, a Lord of Order who takes the form of a cardboard box, and the [[fairy|fairies]] [[Cluracan]] and [[Nuala (DC Comics)|Nuala]], who will play important roles in later stories. ''Season of Mists'' marks the introduction of the Norse gods for the first time in the series.
