Ok so my being here is a complete stumble upon sort of thing. I was merely looking for a quote about life via Wikiquotes, when I found a quote attributed to death in some fabled work "Death talks about life" which was as a whole attributed to Neil Gaiman. I have now spent somewhere near an hour and a half trying to figure out what on earth "Death talks about life" is. Is it a novel Mr. Gaiman has written? A graphic novel? A short story? Please for the love of curiousity someone tell me. I was intrigued merely by the quote and the longer I wander around here the more curious I become, I already have the urge to run out and find several of his books you speak about to read but I am really insatiably curious about just the one where-in Death speaks about life. I would greatly appreciate any help that can be offered.

Mind curdlingly curious,

was it the "life is a sexually transmitted disease" quote?

it is a short comic written by neil gaiman. it can be found at the back of the graphic novel "Death: The High Cost of Living" which i highly recommend. not a bad place to start with gaiman's stuff.

Death Talks About Life was an 8-page booklet about STDs and how to avoid them. DC Comics published it in 1994, and it features Death and John Constantine. You can read it in its entirety at the above link.

I just tried the link, but the comic seems to have been taken offline. I can get to the initial page, but when I click on the links to the comic, it just comes up with those pages of random adverts.

Works fine for me.

I tried it again, and I just missed the button marked "skip this ad"!
