The diminutive versions of the Endless from Neil Gaiman’s SANDMAN mythos are back by popular demand in DELIRIUM’S PARTY: A LITTLE ENDLESS STORYBOOK.

But this is no ordinary affair. We’re talking about a party planner who is the personification of delirium, so you can only imagine that this event will be as outrageous and unpredictable as Little Delirium’s haircolor. But whether Delirium’s party will be a smashing success – or whether it will end in tears – is anyone’s guess.
Brought to life through whimsical prose and watercolor by multiple award-winner Jill Thompson, DELIRIUM’S PARTY: A LITTLE ENDLESS STORYBOOK will be an affair to remember for all time – and all ages.

SCULPTED BY JOSEPH MENNA

This multi-part statue is a must-have for Superman fans. High atop the roof of a Metropolis skyscraper, a family born from the ashes of Krypton stands tall, guardians and hope bringers to the people of the city.
