This character appeared as recently as Elvira's House of Mystery #2 (February 1986). Weird War Tales typically featured Death as a skeleton in some sort of military uniform relevant to the era and locality of the war depicted. Blackest Night has resolved this apparent contradiction or ambiguity, with Nekron no longer being referred to as an aspect of death but instead as a construct formed of darkness in response to the emerging light of the emotional spectrum.Ī more traditional version of Death, a skeleton in a bluish or purplish cloak, appeared as a host in such DC titles such as Weird Mystery Tales, House of Secrets, Ghosts, Weird War Tales (including being in the story in issue #94), DC Comics Presents #29, etc. Alternatively, there may be multiple avatars or gods of Death in the DC universe, besides those claiming to be Death. It might be assumed, however, Nekron, the Racer, and the Black Flash are connected to her in some way. Gaiman has denied this, however, and his stories make it clear that Death of the Endless is the ultimate personification of Death. The story stated that all three were equal, representing different aspects of death. In Captain Atom #42 Death appears alongside Black Racer of the New Gods and Nekron (a being embodying the will of "The Black", the solitude and peace death represents from Green Lantern). Other personifications of Death have appeared in the DC Universe.

In The Sandman, Death instead appears as an attractive, pale goth girl dressed in casual clothes - often a black top and jeans. Physically, Death is also opposite to the traditional western culture personification of death, the Grim Reaper. Just as her brother's, Dream's, realm/domain is known as "The Dreaming", Death's realm/domain is known as "The Sunless Lands". In the special issue, it is also revealed that Death was known in ancient Greece as Teleute. Evidently, only she seems to remember these encounters. Unlike most personifications of death, she also visits people as they are born, according to Destruction in the Sandman Special: The Song of Orpheus. Like most personifications of death, Death meets with the recently deceased and guides them into their new existence.
