The premise

Here’s the bit.

Draco arrives for his afterlife interview and finds that Death is a devoted admirer of his brutal laws. Once the autograph session is over, the Greek ruler explains how a public celebration in his honour ended beneath a mountain of gifts from the crowd. Death finds the fatal tribute hilarious and sends his celebrity guest on his way.

Highly quotable.

Cruel but popular. Me too.

That's so funny, I'm gasping for air.

A little extra

Notes from the archive.

Death's autograph book already includes Attila the Hun, Ivan the Terrible, Nero and Henry VIII.

The rabbit hole continues

One more couldn’t hurt.
