A simple concept, and yet this collection of various artists’ (many known to the Sandman oeuvre) interpretations of Death of the Endless is extremely successful in my eyes. Many of the images are familiar (who can fail to recognize Death in most iterations), but that doesn’t make the images any less tangible. Some of the portraits are decidedly odd, bordering on uncomfortable in a few instances, but that’s the beauty in the collection (and the character) - Death is seen differently by everyone, even within the scope of Gaiman’s character.
This is more an item for a Sandman collector, but it's a fun collection of artwork of Death from various artists. It's a regular comic book with about 36 pages, but it's all about art, there's no actual storyline here.
