The Endless

Thanks.  I never knew they were called "The Endless."  I do have a fascination with the "Death", I still want her watch, lol, but I also have her poster, her AIDS flyer, and her series "The High Cost of Living".  I adore her!  It's been awhile since I grabbed a Sandman, perhaps it's time to dig one up again?  At least a graphic novel?  I liked the convention and the Barbie dolls.  They were quite odd, but appealing!

Now, back to the topic at hand...

  OK, so this wasn't directed at me, but since any mention of Sandman causes me
  to jump up and down and around and around (although I don't bear any other
  resemblance to Delirium, I promise) I thought I would respond.  The Endless
  are "anthropomorphic personifications"...there are seven of them and they have
  been around since the beginning of the universe...Going from oldest to
  youngest there are Destiny, Death, Dream, Destruction, Desire & Despair (the
  twins), and Delirium.  (Although I think Gaiman contradicts himself in the
  relative ages of Destiny and Death.)  They're from Neil Gaiman's wonderful
  wonderful wonderful _Sandman_ books.  (Comic books or graphic novels, take
  your pick.)

  Death is this ultra-cool, funny, sweet, sensible, just-all-around-great little
  gothette in the series.  The trade paperbacks are in most comic stores and a
  lot of music stores (at least in this area)...HIGHLY recommended.  (Although
  I'm rather a Gaiman fanatic, so bear that in mind.)  In addition to some other
  good/great novels and short story collections, Gaiman collaborated with Terry
  Pratchett on the book Good Omens.

  Sorry to take up bandwidth on this...I guess the excitement of it all got to
  be too much for me.

  Take care, all
  Elizabeth
