Death: The High Cost of Living

In the mid-1990s, DC Comics released Death: The High Cost of Living, a single-issue prestige format story that gave the beloved character Death, from Neil Gaiman's The Sandman, her own spotlight. Written by Gaiman with art by Chris Bachalo and Mark Buckingham, this standalone tale explores Death's one day every century when she walks among mortals as a human. It remains a poignant, beautifully illustrated meditation on life and mortality, essential for fans of Gaiman's Sandman universe.
