Written and illustrated by Jill Thompson, it follows Death as she takes on a more active role in the chaos that ensues when Lucifer Morningstar abandons Hell, interacting with characters like Dream, Delirium, and the various Endless. The story blends humor and heart, offering a lighter take on the classic Sandman arc while exploring Death's compassionate nature.
In "At Death's Door," Jill Thompson crafts a hauntingly vivid tale where Death’s quiet domain becomes an unexpected haven. As Dream contemplates the fate of the key to Hell, its former inmates settle in, welcomed by Delirium and Despair who throw a surreal party—while Death quietly carries out her duties. The story, written and illustrated by Jill Thompson with colors by Lee Loughridge and letters by Thompson herself, features a cover by Thompson that captures the eerie charm of the moment.
