And Guest Starring...

...the Dead Boy Detectives! Yay!

I was planning to include them in one way, and I tought them being a supernatural connection to Sam would be perfect. As it was mentioned they met when Sam had a ghost in his on home, and the way he paid them was very fun, maybe one I will I write about more, let just say a certain cat got what he deserved 😏

For a refresher the Dead Boy Detectives are two ghost boys, Edwin Payne and Charles Rowland who were originated in comics. Unfortunately I don't want to mention where they debuted because the writer is an ass, but luckily they were in several other comics and even got a series.

Edwin died at the beggining of the 20th century and due to him being a sacrifice to a demon, he went to Hell. But then he escaped in 1989 and met the dyeing Charles. Both of them were bullied extensively which caused their demise.

There are some differences between the comics and the show for example they are aged up a little bit (instead of 12-13 years old they were about 16-17 years old when they died) and their personalities and skillsets are a bit more defined in the show. I based my own verions mostly from the show.

The comics that I would recommend are:

The Sandman Presents: The Dead Boy Detectives (2004) by Ed Brubaker and Bryan Talbot

The Dead Boy Detectives (2005) by Jill Thompson

The Dead Boy Detectives (2014) by Toby Litt, Mark Buckingham and Gary Erskine

The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives by Pornsak Pichetshote and Jeff Stokely (this one is so mush fun, it features thai ghosts)

The series is called Dead Boy Detectives and it is by Netflix, Sadly it was cancelled after 1 season (curse you Netflix).
