The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives
The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives | Pornsak Pichetshote
1 post | 1 read | 2 to read
The Sandman Universe grows as two of its most beloved characters return to the spotlight! Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine have been detectives for decades--and dead best friends even longer. But their investigation into a Thai American girl's disappearance from her Los Angeles home puts them on a collision course with new and terrifying ghosts that could give even a dead boy nightmares--including a bloodthirsty krasue. Even scarier than the ghosts? Though neither wants to admit it, the boys might be growing apart. And perilously close by to the boys' adventure, Thessaly the witch finds herself held hostage by dangerous magics--both a threat to her life and an insult to her ego that simply will not go unanswered... Eisner Award-winning writer Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian, Infidel) is joined by celebrated artist Jeff Stokely to take the Dead Boys to the scariest place of all: the heart of Hollywood! A must-read for fans eager to explore Thai mythology in the multicultural pantheon of gods and legends in the Sandman universe. Collects The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives #1-6.

Frightfully good fun. The illustrations alone are an absolute marvel (read: they're drop-dead gorgeous!). You'll find yourself gawping at the gory artwork for an age (per page!). Exploring ghosts from different cultures and the laws that divide them was such a unique premise. The creative minds behind this sui generis comic series are remarkably eccentric. Pepare to experience the heebie-jeebies along the way! The Netflix series is awesome, too!

KathyWheeler I loved the Netflix series and need to read these. (edited) 6mo
rwmg The Netflix series needs more love but it's good enough to at least tempt me to get the DBD omnibus, though I hastily backed off when I found out it was GBP55. 6mo

TheIntrovertedDodoBird @rwmg DBD definitely needs more love! I never hear anyone raving about it! I found this comic for £7.00 on Vinted! There's also some on Amazon, but they'll set you back £25.00. I'm keeping a beady eye out for bargains to read the rest of the series 👻❤️. 6mo
peanutnine I didn't realize the series was based on a comic! 6mo
TheIntrovertedDodoBird @peanutnine Yessss! It's absolutely amazing 👻❤️. I was psyched when I saw it was based on a comic series, and it does not disappoint! 6mo
