Actually my plan was just to draw Crystal and Edwin (referring to their magical abilities), BUT as you see…
Magic is so much more and everyone has their own unique 💜🥹
@that-one-greml1n tag you, ‘cause YEAH They need powerful magic of Niko 💜

the funniest part of the dbd fandom is that when niko first appeared on screen, none of us actually thought anything was wrong with her. we were just like “oh that’s just the Power of Lesbianism™” and moved on

dbd headcanon: the boys have a list of office rules written out on a poster sheet hung on the wall. surprisingly enough, the rules were started, and most were created by, charles, but they have to be agreed on by both of the boys before becoming an official office rule (that's rule #4)
the rules date back to the beginning of their old/first office and moved with them to their current office.
dead boy detectives office rule #1 clearly states "edwin cannot suggest charles would be better off moving on" in charles' chicken scratch handwriting.
the rest of the rules are a bit of everything, ranging from "charles must disclose when he's been hit with iron in any form" to "there is no bubblegum incident of 04" and "edwin has to let charles mess with one ouija board per month." there are (currently) 46 office rules.
edwin takes these rules very seriously and will reference them whenever he chooses ("charles you're clearly in violation of rule 29 which states a ban on tommy gottas." "tamagotchis, eds.") but in taking them very seriously and to the book, he realizes he can't enforce them on crystal seeing as she's not a dead boy. he's still working on a solution to that.
but, as of late, charles has a second (secret) rules list, just for crystal. alive girl psychic rule #1 states that she can't inform edwin of this list's existance. rule #2 states that she cant respond to anything edwin says with "kinky"

What about Charles getting enchanted by a magical item to tell the truth? But it's a Payne land confession? And Crystal and Niko are just there and like 'finally, it's happening!'.
I couldn’t think up a magic item so let’s just say they had a little run in with the Cat King 🐈⬛ thanks for the request!

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! 👻
