Cover by Chris Bachalo. Written by Toby Litt, Mark Buckingham, Jill Thompson, Neil Gaiman, Ed Brubaker, and others Art by Mark Buckingham, Jill Thompson, Bryan Talbot, Chris Bachalo, and others 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 hasnt 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. Hardcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 800 pages, full color. Mature Readers Cover price $100.00.
