"But the award went to a little known project, but one representative of a much greater trend. That of DC not publishing finished work, like "Sandman Presents: Marquee Moon." The much-promised sequel to "Sandman Presents: Love Street." Written by ABC-writer Pete Hogan and fully pencilled inked and lettered, seems to have fallen down a plughole. The departure of editor Alisa Kwitney may have contributed to the delay, but this story punk rock young-werewolves-in-love, set in London in 1977, would have featured not only John Constantine, but The Clash, whose members gave DC/Vertigo full permission for their appearance.
