From the pages of Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN comes fan-favorite character Death in a new edition collecting her solo adventures!
The first story introduces the young, pale, perky, and genuinely likable Death. One day in every century, Death walks the Earth to better understand those to whom she will be the final visitor. Today is that day. As a young mortal girl named Didi, Death befriends a teenager and helps a 250-year old homeless woman find her missing heart. What follows is a sincere musing on love, life and (of course) death.
In the second story, a rising star of the music world wrestles with revealing her true sexual orientation just as her lover is lured into the realm of Death that Death herself should make an appearance. A practical, honest, and intelligent story that illuminates "the miracle of death."
This book collects the DEATH: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING and DEATH: THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE miniseries, together with THE SANDMAN issues "The Sound of Her Wings" and "Facade," the "Death and Venice" chapter from THE SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS, and the short stories "A Winter's Tale," "The Wheel" and "Death Talks About Life."
This comprehesive volume also features an introspective introduction by musician Tori Amos and an extensive gallery of Death portraits from a host of comics' greatest artists.
Writer: Neil Gaiman
Artists: Chris Bachalo, Mark Buckinham, Mike Dringenberg, Colleen Doran, P. Craig Russell, Malcolm Jones III, Mark Pennington, Dave McKean, Jeffrey Jones
