DC Comics has pulled a Neil Gaiman title that was due to be published later this year.

Death: DC Compact Comics Edition was meant to come out on 2 September, but listings have been scrubbed from online bookshops and Amazon, reported Bleeding Cool.

DC Comics did not confirm that the decision was taken because of allegations of sexual assault made against the author in recent months.

The Sandman spin-off was one of 15 compact edition graphic novels slated for publication in 2025. Unlike Death, listings for the other 14 titles can be found on sites including Amazon, Waterstones, and OK Comics, a comic book shop in Leeds.

Nine women have now accused Gaiman of sexual misconduct. On Monday, one of the women, Scarlett Pavlovich, filed a civil lawsuit against Gaiman and his estranged wife, Amanda Palmer. The lawsuit accuses Gaiman of rape, sexual assault, coercion and human trafficking, and Palmer of “procuring and presenting” her to Gaiman “for such abuse”.

In mid-January, Gaiman published a statement on his website stating that he had “never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity with anyone”. Gaiman’s representatives did not respond to a request for comment on DC Comics’ decision.

Along with Death being pulled, orders for a DC Comics facsimile edition of Sandman #8 – due to be published on 26 February – have been cancelled. Retailers were told that the edition “will be resolicited at a later date”, though according to Bleeding Cool, similar phrasing has been used for other titles that were ultimately never published. Again, DC Comics did not confirm that the decision was made because of the allegations.

This follows the decision taken last month by US publisher Dark Horse Comics to cancel plans to publish future works by Gaiman. In a statement on X, the company wrote it “takes seriously the allegations against Neil Gaiman and we are no longer publishing his works”.

Last week, a Kickstarter campaign that has raised more than £2m to adapt Gaiman and Terry Pratchett’s 1990 novel Good Omens into a graphic novel put out a statement saying that “Neil Gaiman will not receive any proceeds” from the campaign and that it “will now fully be an entity run by, and financially connected to, the Terry Pratchett Estate only”.

While multiple adaptations of Gaiman’s works have been cancelled, reconfigured or had their production paused in recent months, Amazon Prime’s adaptation of Gaiman’s Anansi Boys is still expected to stream later this year.

Another Prime adaptation, Good Omens, will now end with one 90-minute episode instead of a full third season. Amazon did not confirm whether this decision was taken because of the allegations. According to Deadline, Gaiman offered to step back from the show’s final season.

A stage musical adaptation of Coraline – which was due to be performed at Leeds Playhouse, Royal Lyceum theatre Edinburgh, Birmingham Rep and Home Manchester – has been cancelled. “After careful consideration, we feel it would be impossible to continue in the context of the allegations against its original author”, said the venues in a joint statement.

A Disney film adaptation of Gaiman’s 2008 young adult novel The Graveyard Book, which was in development, was put on hold. Gaiman himself was not involved in the project.

HarperCollins, which publishes many Gaiman titles in the US including Coraline and American Gods, told Publishers Weekly that it does not have any new books by Gaiman scheduled. WW Norton & Company, the US publisher of Gaiman’s book Norse Mythology, said that it will not have projects with the author going forward, though did not say whether this was connected to the allegations.

Other publishers of Gaiman’s work – including Bloomsbury, Penguin, Hachette and Titan – have not yet made public statements about whether they will continue to publish the author, and did not respond to the Guardian’s requests for comment.
