British writer Peter Hogan, best known to comic-book readers for his work on 2000 A.D. and The Dreaming, wrote a followup to his popular miniseries, The Sandman Presents: Love Street, in 1997. Unfortunately, The Sandman Presents: Marquee Moon, as the one-shot John Constantine and Mucous Membranewould have been called, has never been published, even a decade after it was first solicited. Love Street offered insight into John Constantine's youth in the 1960s, setting the stage for the cynical magician he would one day become. Marquee Moon would have revisited Constantine's early years, showcasing his brief fame as a punk rocker in the band Mucous Membrane. The future mage's prominence in this story, however, would have been reduced, compared to his starring role in Love Street. Marquee Moon would have chronicled Constantine's 1977 encounter with an American woman with a secret—the main character of the story and the mother of a young girl featured in The Sandman's "The Hunt"—who'd moved to London and discovered punk-rock music for the first time. Had this 56-page one-shot seen publication, it would have featured The Clash's comic-book debut.
