With the new Sandman Netflix series out, which I am enjoying thus far, I am taken back with the excellent casting of Kirby Howell Baptiste as Death. She is killing it and I couldn’t be happier. She captures the tone, tenor and eccentricity of what the character is.
Though it took me years to get into Sandman Comics (as stated in previous blog posts), I was always a big fan of Death since day one. Interesting, wondrous, enchanting yet macabre. She lends herself to so much creative interpretations that range from dramatic to quirky, to tragic, to downright comical. It all works.
Below are the my favorite pieces that I composed of the character. Looking to add Kirby Howell version in the near future.
