Hail, Researchers!

Please have a look at the following picture:

http://www.darkfriends.net/princessmoo/extras/BacholoDeath.jpg

If you're not familiar with the young lady in the picture, she's Neil
Gaiman's Death, as drawn by Christopher Bacholo for the Sandman
series.

Until a few days ago, this image of Death graced my favorite t-shirt,
purchased a couple years back from Chicago's Stars Our Destination.  A
light-fingered neighbor has absconded with her from our common laundry
room, and now I am Death-less.  Even worse, I can't find a
replacement, and I'm hoping someone who knows their way around comics
merchandise can lend a hand.

I need to find a retailer who:

-- either has this shirt in stock or can special order it in XL or XXL
-- accepts telephone, mail or internet orders (any of the three)
-- will sell the shirt for under $40 
-- is not offering a "bootleg" shirt (source MUST be on the level)
-- MUST bear this image.  A substitute is not acceptable.

Due to exorbitant shipping rates, I would prefer a US source. 
However, I am willing to consider sources in EU countries if no US
source can be found.  Additionally, I am not averse to a "gently used"
shirt, as long as it meets the criteria listed above.

The help is much appreciated.

--Missy

Doesn't meet many of your criteria, but if you get desperate, then
try:
http://www.thecomicshop.com.au/wcc/tshirts/tshirt-stock.html

Looks like the same image, but it is only in a Medium. It is Australia
site and they want $AU 80 (about $US 45).

If nothing works out, buy a plain white t-shirt and print the image on
t-shirt stick-ons (I'm not so sure what its called), and iron it onto
the t-shirt....

When I was young, I had  Batman, Superman & Spiderman t-shirts that
way :)

I would try ebay or Yahoo auctions. Currently there isn't a shirt at
ebay,but check every few days and you're bound to run across one. I
searched in current auctions on eBay just to see if this stuff passes
through, and there was one comic book. In the completed auctions,
there was 4 items. That says there's not many people trading the
stuff, but that could change at any point. Good luck.
