I've only read one of the old Sandmans, and that was long ago. I do, however, have all of his novels and a few of his other graphic novel stuff.
I'm for sure a fan. Particularly when he does anything with that one artist I can never remember the name of who did the Punch and Judy book with him. God, why can't I think of the name!?!

That would be "Mr. Punch" , drawn by the stunning Dave McKeane

My absolute favorite author, and an amazing comic writer to boot! American Gods is one of my favorite books EVER, and Neverwhere isn't far behind. He never ceases to amaze me.

This particular piece, by Frank Quitely, has always kinda disturbed me. His rendition of Desire looks like Michael Jackson!!!

love

oh and....


I think I missed the boat on this whole comic thing.... I wouldn't even know where to start if I wanted to read a comic.

I do appreciate the artwork greatly though.

In spite of the cost of living, it's still popular.

I love the old Sandman comics!!! His short story, "The Wedding Gift" or "Wedding Present" (can't remember the name) gave me a shiver. Coraline was a cute read as well.

Not really into any comics from a reading point of view, but his artwork is outstanding. The only writing of his I've read completely is Good Omens - funny as hell, but hardly hardcore Neil Gaiman fan material.

He doesn't do the artwork on his comics. He's the writer.

Delerium is supposed to be Tori Amos I've heard.

I've only read Neil's 'Death' books to be honest. boxed

I currently have '1602' in my must read pile.
