REGARDING NEIL GAIMAN
• In 1991, Neil and Matt introduced us to Edwin Paine and Charles Rowland in The Sandman #25. Between 1993 and the start of 1994 Gaiman revived the characters to feature in The Children’s Crusade. This was the first time the boys were referred to as the Dead Boy Detectives.• The boys appeared in several of their own comic book series written by Ed Brubaker and Jill Thompson starting in 2001 with Neil Gaiman having no involvement. The Dead Boy Detectives then went on to finally get their own comic series starting in 2013, written by Toby Litt and Mark Buckingham which serves as the main inspiration behind the show.• In 2021, the Dead Boy Detectives made their first television appearance in season 3 episode 3 of Doom Patrol, aptly named ‘Dead Patrol’. By this point, Steve Yockey had purchased the rights to the Dead Boy Detectives brand.• Although he is credited as an executive producer, Gaiman has admitted several times on his tumblr account that Dead Boy Detectives is strictly Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz’s show.
