Children's Crusade
Gaiman revived the characters in the "Children's Crusade" Vertigo's first and only crossover event which ran through all that year's Vertigo annuals that were published between December 1993 and January 1994. Gaiman wrote the two "Children's Crusade" bookend annuals which prominently featured both characters and first gave them the official title the "Dead Boy Detectives". The characters also appeared in a "The Books of Magic" short story in "Winter's Edge #3", written by the then current writer Peter Gross.
