DBD LETTER PROJECT
What is the project?
• The goal is to send letters to Netflix/Max/WB in the most coordinated way that we can!Why?
• We would get to show Netflix/Max/WB and other companies that we are a dedicated fanbase that is willing to do whatever it takes to save our show! There is also potential for news outlets to pick up on the project!When?
• The plan is to have the letters mailed in batches to have more of a noticeable impact! We will have a mailing date every two weeks. This will mean that many will arrive at the same time, while others will flood in later in waves but it will be a constant arrival of letters for weeks!Current Mailing Dates:
• February 10th to February 14th
• February 24th to February 28th• As individuals, this will take only a couple of minutes to put together. As a whole, this could have a huge impact and show how much we care about the show.• You can find more information here.
CURRENT TASKS
Information about the current tasks (hashtags and YouTubers) of the Save Dead Boy Detectives campaign.
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, as well as his Bluesky account, that Dead Boy Detectives is strictly Steve Yockey and Beth Schwartz’s show.• If you'd like to read about this in more detail, with visual evidence attached, please check out the section on the webpage "Regarding Neil Gaiman"
