Death appeared in "Captain Atom" #42-43 (June–July 1990), in which she appeared alongside the Black Racer as one of several aspects of Death in the DC Universe. Gaiman reportedly took issue with this depiction, feeling that portraying her as merely an aspect of death diminished her importance. Other Giffen stories that feature Death include the "Ambush Bug Nothing Special" one-shot (Sep. 1992) and a cameo in the Lobo comic book "Lobo's Back" #3 (Oct. 1992), in which she slaps Lobo for getting fresh with her. She observes the destruction of the Earth in "Legion of Super-Heroes" vol. 4 #38 (Dec. 1992).
