NEIL GAIMAN DEATH TALKS ABOUT LIFE COMIC BOOK SANDMAN HELLBLAZER CONSTANTINE OOP
Neil Gaiman's DEATH TALKS ABOUT LIFE COMIC BOOK
Featuring the Sandman's sister DEATH and JOHN CONSTANTINE, HELLBLAZER.
RARE AND OUT OF PRINT!
WRITTEN BY NEIL GAIMAN; ART BY DAVE MCKEAN.
It stars Sandman’s Death—portrayed here as a young woman—with a very serious message for today’s youth.
Death, along with a cameo by John Constantine (Hellblazer), gives explicit instructions about avoiding AIDS. Included is a frank discussion of condoms, safe sex, and other topics that, as the cover warns, “some people might find offensive.” To these people, Death warns, “Just don’t read it. After all, the most it could do is save your life.”

Angels & Visitations, a small press story collection, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Collection, despite not having any horror in it. Well, hardly any.Born in England, he now makes his home in America, in a big dark house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. He is currently at work turning his first novel Neverwhere into a film for Jim Henson films.
