Delirium, known to some cultures within the mythos as Mania, is the youngest of the Endless, yet still older than the rest of existence.
Delirium features in many of the most inventive sequences of the series, particularly in the seventh collection, Brief Lives, in which she and Morpheus attempt to track down Destruction.
Delirium, like her siblings, has also exhibited a form of prophetic knowledge; however, her prophecies rarely make sense until it is too late to do anything about them, and no other character recognises them.

 Comic books keep seducing today's discerning fans
Comics can provide "high interest-low level" reading: literature that is attractive to readers yet not too intimidating.
The most potent attack on comics came from Fredric Wertham's 1954 "Seduction of the Innocent," in which comics were depicted as contributing to juvenile delinquency and inhibiting reading and language development.
While this fl-and-white comic may not be as flashy as its contemporaries, its carefully drawn scenes and proportionate mix of action and character development make it at least the equal of any other comic in today's market.

In Endless Nights, in the story "On the Peninsula", when Destruction is talking to the female archaeologist, she notes that Delirium might have had her heart broken.
More likely, however, is that that sickness was depicted in another Endless Nights story, "Going Inside", in which Delirium has retreated into her realm so deeply that no one can retrieve her, save five insane human individuals gathered together by Daniel, Matthew and Delirium's dog Barnabas.

 IGN: Comics in Context #17: Dream Analysis
No, it is actually DC/Vertigo's new collection of stories written by Neil Gaiman about Morpheus, the title character of his renowned comics series, sandman, and his six brothers and sisters, who comprise the Endless.
Each of them embodies an aspect of existence: Morpheus is Dream, and his siblings are Death, Desire, Despair, Delirium (formerly known as Delight), Destruction and Destiny.
In certain cases Gaiman's Endless fit one's expectations: Despair is in despair, Desire does embody amoral desire, and Destiny (the sole member of the Endless he did not create, who was a preexisting DC character) is a variant on the familiar figure of Father Time.

As with the original Sandman, Gaiman matches up each story with the style of the artist involved (the original comic had a series of different artists for the different story arcs).

And while the visual styles vary widely, underneath it all is the same distinctive voice and heart Gaiman has always written with.

 village voice > news > Re-enter Sandman by John Giuffo
In addition to attracting an increasingly eclectic readership, Gaiman's forays into prose fiction have had the effect of getting his comics work—and, indeed, the comics medium—taken more seriously by mainstream media bent on infantilizing the form.
DC Comics is betting that Endless Nights will be a huge hit, and Gaiman expects that it will be the first graphic novel since Art Spiegelman's 1992 Pulitzer-winning Maus to reach the Times bestseller list.
Whereas Gaiman's Sandman series, which ran from 1988 to 1996, often used the title character to explore mythology and history through the prism of Dream, and of dreams, this latest installment uses contemporary allusion and mythological allegory to explore the roles played by the seven Endless siblings in human—and cosmic—events.
