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!

    Oh how I’ve missed comic books

    I was initially bummed when the very good Nightmare Country series abruptly took a left turn into a lead-in to this Dead Boy Detectives book. After issue #1 of the DBD series, I’m just as excited to see where Pichote &co are taking this one, and how this will intersect with Nightmare Country when it picks back up.

    One of the great things about the original Sandman series was that it was a treasury of stories from the around the world, as Gaiman brought in myth, folklore, urban legend, etc from everywhere. With this DBD series, Pichetshote introduces some really rich Thai ghost folklore that I can’t wait to see developed further. Plus, Pichetshote has totally nailed the voices of Edwin and Charles and the tone of this book overall - whimsy battling against the dread.

    I am one of the few who did not enjoy these characters as the next sandman fan.
    But I liked this story. It picked up one some relatable issues, expanded the universe and had a nice conclusion

    not sure how to feel about the story yet since it’s early days, but the thai characters and exploration of thai mythology makes me so warm and fuzzy :-) representation matters !!
