Original Graphic Novel/One-Shot.

Neil Gaiman's inimitable sleuths from The Sandman: Season of Mist star in their own Manga Digest. The Dead Boy Detectives, guest-starring Death of the Endless, is brought to life by award-winning artist Jill Thompson. Based on the overwhelming success of her first Manga Digest, Death: At Death's Door, Thompson has crafted an amazing original mystery that will appeal to both Sandman fans and shojou Manga enthusiasts. Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine, the dead British teenagers who are always on the run from Death, travel stateside to solve a missing persons case.

For Rowland and Paine to investigate the case properly, they decide to enroll as students at the school. And since it is an all-girls academy, the duo is forced to go undercover, in drag. Secret passages, food fights, and far too many fashionistas abound as the Dead Boy Detectives solve the case and learn a lot about life from the precocious daughters of international ambassadors and famous rock stars. As a bonus, this digest also features a free 8-page excerpt from Death: At Death's Door.
