Editing Death of the Endless (section)

===Quasi-canonical appearances===
In the [[AIDS]]-awareness eight-page comic ''Death Talks About Life'' by Gaiman and McKean (which was first included in various Vertigo titles, and later released as a stand-alone giveaway pamphlet), Death demonstrates safe sex by placing a [[condom]] on a [[banana]] held by [[John Constantine]]. Lightening the impact of the underlying message, she informs the reader that when one is through with the demonstration, "you can eat the banana".<ref>Gaiman, Neil and McKean, Dave ''Death Talkes About Life'' (DC/Vertigo, 1994)</ref> This was used in high school health classes and is also reprinted as an addendum to the ''Death: The High Cost of Living'' trade paperback.

This version of Death also made a cameo appearance in the crossover special ''[[Avengers/JLA]]'' #2. She is represented in the [[Grandmaster (DC Comics)|Grandmaster]]'s home base, alongside [[Deadman (character)|Deadman]], [[Hela (character)|Hela]] and the purple-robed version of [[Death (Marvel Comics)|Death]] native to the [[Marvel Universe]], which, as the plots of other crossover comics have hinged upon, exists in the same continuum of [[fictional universe]]s as DC's. Marvel's version of Death appears alternatively as a coldly beautiful woman in a purple robe or a walking skeleton (sometimes male and sometimes female in form, depending upon the context).

She made an appearances in the Marvel Universe, at the wedding of [[Rick Jones (character)|Rick Jones]] and [[Marlo Chandler]] in ''[[Hulk|The Incredible Hulk]]'' #418 trying successfully to evade [[Thanos]] and handing Marlo a hair brush, a visual pun referring to Marlo's recent 'brush with death', this appearance subsequently forming the basis of numerous major storylines involving Marlo becoming [[Death (Marvel Comics)|Death]]/Death taking Marlo's form, in particular "[[Chaos War]]" and ''[[Ben Reilly: The Scarlet Spider]]''.
