Most of them are collected in one big book:Ĭollects The Sandman No. That said, you can find Death in other publications.

Death was featured in almost all of The Sandman‘s storylines, often playing a really small part, except in The Kindly Ones. You can find it in Preludes and Nocturnes, the first TPBs. More precisely, with her introduction in The Sandman issue #8 (August 1989). The best way to start with Death is obviously in The Sandman ( reading order here). She is omnipotence and omnipresence, being with all those who die when they die. In The Sandman, Death takes the appearance of a young goth woman. His older sister is Death and she mostly meets with the recently deceased and guides them into their next existence.ĭeath is the second eldest of Endless and possibly the more powerful being in the Universe. Dream (or Morpheus) is the king of the Dreaming Wold, where you go when you sleep. They all play a specific part in the human world. In this Vertigo series, the Endless are the personification of concepts. That said, we still can find Death in a few publications outside the main Sandman story. The character of Death is not one of those who were lucky enough to get an ongoing series, unlike Lucifer ( reading order here) and Dead Boy Detectives ( reading order here), even if she is extremely popular. There are a few anthologies, numerous one shots, miniseries and other specials – few were written by Neil Gaiman. The world of Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman ( reading order here) has inspired numerous spin-offs.
