There’s nothing more exciting than college life in the big city. But complications can follow you from dark places – and not just from your boring hometown.

Lona’s murky past appears to have been hiding an alarming proficiency for stalkerism, and Merissa and Ren will confront uncomfortable situations involving older men. But who is the “five” in THE NEW YORK FIVE? Find out as Vertigo reunites this cast with its stellar creative team of Brian Wood (DEMO, DMZ, NORTHLANDERS) and Ryan Kelly (LUCIFER, Local) in this standard-sized 4-issue miniseries.

DELIRIUM’S PARTY: A LITTLE ENDLESS STORYBOOK HC
Written by JILL THOMPSON
Art and cover by JILL THOMPSON

The diminutive versions of the Endless from Neil Gaiman’s SANDMAN mythos are back by popular demand in DELIRIUM’S PARTY: A LITTLE ENDLESS STORYBOOK.
In an effort to rid Despair of her unhappiness once and for all, Little Delirium throws a party for her dour sister and invites siblings Dream, Destruction, Death, Destiny and Desire. But this is no ordinary affair. We’re talking about a party planner who is the personification of delirium, so you can only imagine that this event will be as outrageous and unpredictable as Little Delirium’s haircolor. But whether Delirium’s party will be a smashing success – or whether it will end in tears – is anyone’s guess.
Brought to life through whimsical prose and watercolor by multiple award-winner Jill Thompson, DELIRIUM’S PARTY: A LITTLE ENDLESS STORYBOOK will be an affair to remember for all time – and all ages.

“Incredibly endearing art makes this picture book a page-turner . . . cute, but not without the edge that one expects from The Sandman line. The story is funny and appealing in itself, yet it incorporates enough insider jokes to gratify Sandman fans.” — BOOKLIST

“An endearing and heartfelt story, much like Owly, and should prove to be a welcome addition to any Sandman fan’s library.” — IGN

A new printing of the classic tale of The Endless from acclaimed writer/artist Jill Thompson!
The story begins once upon a time, when Little Delirium was lost. Her protector and puppy Barnabas searched the waking world for his tiny princess to no avail. Now, Barnabas must travel to the strange realms of each of The Endless to see if Delirium’s siblings have seen their missing sister. Cameos by The Sandman, Desire and the rest of the Endless family make this a must-have for any Sandman fan.
