Yall I couldn't resist the temptation of drawing dreams season 2 outfit from the filming leaks. It's a quick draw but I hope you enjoy it!!

[upon-the-snow]

I can’t believe it took me this long to draw her!

Dream of a Thousand Cats

[lichanicksstuff]

Volume 1 Dream, you will always be famous.

Hob talks a lot about nothing in particular; Dream wants

Finally finished this one, so have some 80s Dream(his ass is not listening)

[shamelessly-obsessed]

My mind has been a blur lately but anyways here’s some more art I appear to have made

Edwin my beloved I too would go to hell for you

Been reading the Sandman comics again and had to do my own version of Dream waiting for his sister Death. Hopefully will be continuing this and will draw Death to go with her moody brother because I adore her 💀

this Barbie is the anthropomorphic personification of Death 🖤🫶🦇💀✨

Redrawing their last meeting in the comic in my style. The way that Hob is the only other person (other than Death) who figure out something is wrong with dream is HNGHNG- and “I worry.”??? “You take care of yourself”??? Ok, Hob.

dead boy detectives reading list

with the show finally out i figured it was a great time to share my reading list again! check it out below the cut 👻☠️🔎

-

⏳ the sandman #25 (1991)

this is their first appearance!

🐇 the children's crusade (1993)/free country: a tale of the children's crusade (2015)

1. the children's crusade #1

(2. black orchid annual #1

3. animal man annual #1

4. swamp thing annual #7

5. doom patrol annual #2

6. arcana annual #1)

7. the children's crusade #2

alternatively you can just read free country. whether or not you read the annuals i recommend reading free country's middle chapter

!!! in place of the annuals there is an additional middle chapter that was created for the book "free country: a tale of the children's crusade" where it is placed between the two children's crusade issues. the boys don't actually appear in most of the annuals (they are in two panels of swamp thing and appear in doom patrol) and reading them isn't necessary but i figured i would include them as they are part of the story.

❄️ winter's edge #3 (2000)

this is an anthology. their part is the 'books of magic: waiting for good dough' story starting on page 19

🐦‍⬛ the sandman presents: the dead boy detectives (2001, 4 issues)

i believe the tv show's esther finch was partially based on this run's villain.

*

(they do have a part in 'death: at death's door' from 2003. it's short and really just a retelling of events from sandman #25 with some minor changes. the entirety of their appearance in death: at death's door is included at the end of the next comic im listing so i am not really adding the death: at death's door book to the list)

☠️ the dead boy detectives (2005, one-shot)

this book was made by jill thompson in a very cute manga-esque style

👻 ghosts (2012), time warp (2013), the witching hour (2013)

these three are anthologies. the story 'the dead boy detectives in: run ragged' runs through all of them. 'run ragged' kicks off the next run.

🔮 from the pages of the sandman: dead boy detectives (2013, 12 issues)

this is the comic where crystal is introduced! a book collecting all 12 issues titled 'dead boy detectives by toby litt & mark buckingham' was released in 2023

🔎the sandman universe: dead boy detectives (2022, 6 issues)

the most recent run, centered around some really interesting thai mythology and featuring multiple edwin moments that i am sure you will love

-

and that's everything! i also recommend buying the omnibus if you can. it includes everything minus the 2022 run plus some additional bonus content!

i hope this is helpful! feel free to ask me any questions you may have about the comics. dead boy detectives is my number one interest so i should be able to answer

have fun reading! 👻

I hope that if they do show nada kissing dream they show him as kai'kul and his reaction to her. Then as dream, the one we see, react more hurt or some kind of emotional. There's a logical reason to this I swear. In the comics dream shows the readers himself (spoilers ⚠️)

For example how we see dream with blood on his hands after his sons death whereas the rest of the world/dreaming does not. His whole journey is to become this new person and make mistakes along the way. Even if they are the same ones. Dreams not great but he's trying. I just think that in a way it would be cinematically interesting to see dream show himself to nada and the world around him as just stern cold accepting it but showing the viewers his character development and how he actually sees/feels for himself.
