So Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison are chatting on the phone about Grant’s new book Supergods (out now from Jonathan Cape), and Entertainment Weekly just happened to be listening in (in a nice, authorised manner, not in some shady News of the World nasty way, I hasten to add!): (Grant signing in the Glasgow Forbidden [...]

In the weird, ever-shifting world of US TV, I have no idea whether something like Neil Gaiman’s Sandman would be possible (but if Game Of Thrones was made…..). One thing that is great about the continued speculation over the adaptation is we get things like this….. Thanks to Blog @ Newsarama for this. It’s by [...]

I almost missed this until author Jeff VanderMeer pointed me in the direction of this City Pages site, but apparently Neil Gaiman was insulted – pretty much verbally abused actually – by some ridiculous Republican politician in Minnesota who clearly has no manners and no decorum or any ability to conduct himself in public in [...]
