Talk:Death of the Endless

Untitled

I edited the Kieth Giffen based comments since it seems the person that posted the Giffen comments seems to have an ax grind with Giffen (by the littered refferences in there) Giffen did 3 cameos while the main Dc universe appearance was done by Bates/Weisman and Kayanan in Captain Atom -- which Giffen had nothing to do with. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.115.158.83 (talk) 23:12, 27 October 2010 (UTC)

I've never heard Death been said to be based on Tori Amos. Delirium partly is.

The Sandman Companion by Hy Bender has an interview towards the end that may shed some light on this:

HB: [...] Once you determined Death's gender, where did her look come from?

NG: Death is the only major character whose visuals didn't spring from me; that credit goes to Mike Dringenberg. In my original Sandman outline, I suggested Death look like rock star Nico in 1968, with the perfect cheekbones and perfect face she has on the cover of her Chelsea Girl album.

But Mike Dringenberg had his own ideas, so he sent me a drawing based on a woman he knew named Cinnamon — the drawing that was later printed in Sandman 11 — and I looked at it and had the immediate reaction of, "Wow. That's really cool." Latter that day, Dave McKean and I went to dinner in Chelsea at the My Old Dutch Pancake House and the waitress who served us was a kind of vision. She was American, had long black hair, was dressed entirely in black — black jeans, T-shirt, etc. — and wore a big silver ankh on a silver necklace. And she looked exactly like Mike Drindenberg's drawing of Death.

There is more about her character etc, but no further pointers toward real or fictional influences.

I can't remember if I've read or heard the reason anywhere, so here's my question - is there any significance to the black spiral under her right eye? It reminds me of an Eye of Horus, but it's noticeably different. Willbyr (talk | contribs) 15:10, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Goth thing

Since I last saw this page all references to death being a goth have been cut. I applaude this because A)it's not as informative as actually saying what she's like and B)as goth itself is so hard to define, it seems best not to use that generalisation. However, I think there should be a mention of the word somewhere, though I can't think where. I always believed it was a deliberate visual 'joke' that death herself chooses to portray herself like those (and again I generalise, pray take me on good faith) whose interest in death is so much more mundane. I don't know what anyone else thinks, though. -Zepheriah 23:31, 26 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Death.jpg

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

Madame Xanadu and the Grim Reaper

Who claimed this? There was no Grim Reaper character in Doorway Into Nightmare or any of Madame Xanadu's early appearances. Unless this was in an issue of The Spectre, which I am currently reading, such a thing was never depcited. --Scottandrewhutchins (talk) 18:32, 9 July 2010 (UTC)
