Death the High Cost of Living - 1993

Death the High Cost of Living was published in April 1993. Written by Neil Gaiman and drawn by Christopher Bachalo and Mark Buckingham. In this 'alternative' comic - Death manifests as a human for one day to experience life.

However the image of a graven skull with scythe is replaced and shattered with a hypnotically cute woman.

This paradigm shift of an attractive Death comes from the belief at the end of life - Death appears as a woman whose rich beauty pulls your soul out of your body.

This enchanting and nice version of Death runs into a high school student on the verge of suicide. She is also nefariously pursued by others who dabble in to magic.

Death - Comic Book by Niel Gaiman

Somehow the universe condenses Death into a real girl who recently lost her entire family due to a psychopath.

This not so comical comic book focused on death had the paradoxical effect of causing readers to embrace life.

It is a rich, original story told by an experienced English Storyteller and drawn with a soulful authenticity by a Canadian Artist - Neil Gaiman and Christopher Bachalo respectively.

  1. LOOKING FOR SAFE, PEACEFUL AND INEXPENSIVE PLACE TO LIVE?
    ARE YOU TIRED OF CRIME & TERRORIST ATTACKS, HAVEN´T YOU HAD ENOUGH OF THIS?

    I AM GETTING TIRED of the bad news, and of being bombarded daily by it!

     The US isn't the same country it used to be! I love it BUT I also want to be and feel safe
     Aren´t things now getting quite dangerous in many ways for us?
     Inside our own country: Fear of terrorists attacks and rising crime is now becoming frightening...
     The relation that the US has with some countries is becoming very hostile and is fast becoming Very Dangerous.
     Think about North Korea, Iran , ISIS, ETA, AL Qaeda and others…
     This is Adding An Enormous Amount Of Stress To An Already Stressful Life and this is not healthy for us.

    ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !

     We think to ourselves 'we've got to treat ourselves better. We deserve to live in a quiet place, less anxious and experience a normal life.'
     That’s right ! And you're not alone if you feel this way.
     The view of life inside the US is very different from many other parts of the world… and it seems to be getting worse.
     BUT some countries are peaceful and hardly even aware of these situations.
     In reality there are places that we can live and enjoy life the way we deserve to live.


    LETS TAKE ACTION, LET´S DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT FOR OURSELVES!

     For instance, Peru in particular, is not far away and yet is a peaceful, democratic, beautiful and for the most part, inexpensive country.
     When you listen to the news in Peru, it’s almost always about internal issues, and very seldom do you get the feeling that life on earth is about to end.
     There are no world wars to worry about and the 'weight' of bad news seems so much farther away.
     Has it ever crossed your mind to move to a quiet city in Peru? No? Well perhaps it should!
     In the last decade there has been a substantial increase in the number of American, Canadian and European expats taking up residency in Peru and loving it! Most people never want to leave.
     Consider buying a piece of land close to Machu Picchu in the Urubamba Valley for instance, or in the mountains of Peru or in the jungle or Why not in the more than 1500 miles of beautiful beaches in Peru?
     There are a lot of very quiet cities that are already getting a number of American and European expats that are absolutely LOVING it. Why not you?
