A more traditional version of Death, a skeleton in a bluish or purplish cloak, appeared as host in such DC titles such as "Weird Mystery Tales", "House of Secrets", "Ghosts", "Weird War Tales" (including being in the story in issue #94), "DC Comics Presents" #29, etc. "Weird War Tales" typically featured Death as a skeleton in some sort of military uniform relevant to the era and locality of the war depicted. This character appeared as recently as "Elvira's House of Mystery" #2 (February 1986). How this pre-Crisis Death relates to Gaiman's Death, if at all, is unclear, although her older brother Destiny appeared with the character, and both Deaths have appeared with incarnations of Superman. Superman referred to the earlier Death with the term "Grim Reaper", so perhaps that could be regarded as a distinct character, however, in the pages of "Weird War Tales", he called himself "Death." He also appeared when "Weird War Tales" was published under the Vertigo imprint and in the 2010 "Weird War Tales" one-shot.
