Review - Sandman Presents:The Dead Boy Detectives (The Sandman)

[wilderthan]

I quite like the Sandman Presents comics. They aren't done by Gaiman, but by a range of artists and writers. They pick up on minor characters of the main series and follow them about a bit. Dead Boy Detectives features characters so minor you've probably forgotten them, Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine, who having escaped hell and Death, become detectives. In this volume, they're asked to solve a series of murders...

It's light reading, a little silly, and it's fun to see other minor characters showing up -- like Mad Hettie and Hob Gadling.
