Synopsis
While Dream decides what to do with the key to Hell, its former inhabitants make themselves at home in Death's domain. Delirium and Despair throw a party for these visitors, as Death tends to her duties, until Dream assigns Hell to its new rulers.
Notes
Publishing data actually reads "Death #1: At Death's Door," but all other occurrences of the title on the volume and in DC's promotional material have the title as listed. Neil Gaiman credited as consultant. Artwork is black and white with gray tones; the separations credit presumably applies to the tones.
