Stepping out of the pages of Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, the Dead Boy Detectives are thrust into the mystery of a lifetime. Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine were murdered at boarding school, but that hasn’t stopped them from living out their dreams. While avoiding Death (literally) they enjoy a ghostly afterlife by reading mystery novels, watching thrillers, and hanging out in their clubhouse. Aspiring to the (un) life of a detective, the two will take on their first case and unwittingly fall prey to supernatural horrors galore and a life(less)long obsession with solving creepy, scary capers. The Dead Boy Detectives Omnibus (The Sandman Universe Classics) collects The Sandman #25, The Children's Crusade #1-2, The Sandman Presents: The Dead Boy Detectives #1-4, Dead Boy Detectives #1-12, and Jill Thompson's The Dead Boy Detectives; an original middle chapter to the Children's Crusade from Free Country: A Tale of the Children's Crusade; stories from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #3, Ghosts #1, Time Warp #1, and The Witching Hour #1; and pages from Death: At Death's Door, Swamp Thing Annual #7, and Doom Patrol Annual #2. Featuring a brand-new introduction by Mark Buckingham and a brand-new cover by Chris Bachalo, along with an extensive behind-the-scenes gallery of never-before-seen artwork, sketches, proposals, and more!
