From the pages of Newbery Medal winner Neil Gaiman's THE SANDMAN comes the young, pale, perky, fan-favorite character Death in a new Absolute Edition collecting her solo adventures! Featuring the miniseries DEATH: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING #1-3 in which Death befriends a teenager and helps a 250-year old homeless woman find her missing heart.

THE ABSOLUTE DEATH collects the miniseries DEATH: THE HIGH COST OF LIVING and DEATH: THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE together with "The Sound of Her Wings" and "Façade" from THE SANDMAN #8 and #20, the P. Craig Russell-illustrated "Death and Venice" from THE SANDMAN: ENDLESS NIGHTS, and the never-before reprinted stories "A Winter's Tale" and "The Wheel."

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolute Death, Absolutely Amazing! May 18 2013
Format:Hardcover|Amazon Verified Purchase
The pictures on the website do not do this tome justice! I was surprised to see how luxurious this book was, right down to the intricate slipcase which will look great in anyone's library. As for the character herself, this compilation gives great insight into who Didi (Death) is and it will raise your awareness to many things about the world around you. These very well written graphical stories in Neil Gaiman's special style should leave you extremely satisfied and will likely help you to appreciate and see the good in even the smallest things around you. Very nicely done; it is a little bit pricey but the quality of the book definitely speaks for itself. I do LOVE It. :)

Format:Hardcover
A collection of all of Gaiman's "Death" stories including "The High Cost of Living" and "The Time of Your Life". The book itself is stunning, with a cloth-bound hardcover, a magnificent slipcase, and high-quality paper it will look great on any collector's shelf. I'm also a huge fan of the large format that the Absolute books use. I highly recommend this to any Gaiman fan and would even suggest that people who don't normally read comics give it a shot. The stories are thoughtful, relevant, and moving in the way that they deal with that most touchy of subjects - death itself.
