Goodnight, Max

I know I posted on the sad passing of the great Maurice Sendak yesterday, but Charles Santoso’s tribute art is simply too lovely not to share on here. And on a related note Neil Gaiman asked the New Yorker very nicely if they could unlock a couple of pages of comics by Sendak and Art [...]

As regular followers of Neil Gaiman‘s blog will doubtless know he has been taking some time recently to sequester himself away in order to concentrate on some new writing. Novels, comics, films, poetry, Neil is an expert at adapting his writing imagination to almost any storytelling medium, it seems; now he is about to take [...]

Neil Gaiman and Todd McFarlane: The Story So Far (March 1993 – March 2012)

Monday, March 19, 2012

Comments Off

On the left Neil Gaiman. On the right Todd McFarlane. They’ve been having a disagreement. And here I could spend many, many words explaining it all, working in all the relevant characters (Spawn, Angela, Medieval Spawn, Marvelman, Miracleman etc etc), and putting it all in a highly detailed blog post. I could. But then again, I could [...]

We’ll have some additional news soon.” Yep, that’s as good a summary as you’ll find regarding Marvel and their plans to bring back the Marvelman stories written by Alan Moore and Neil Gaiman. It’s the final piece in a long, extensive, and informative round-up by Pádraig Ó Méalóid of everything that’s gone on over [...]

Art For Art’s Sake – Death special…..

Saturday, December 31, 2011

Comments Off

I could make some sort of end of the year type link to Neil Gaiman and Mike Dringenberg’s Death character. But truth be told, I was following one link to the Adi Granov Death picture on Comic Art Fans, and next thing I know, I’d lost half an hour and had seen some beautiful pieces… [...]

Nicholas Was

Nicholas Was… is one of the shortest short stories I’ve ever read, not even a whole page, just a paragraph or two actually, in Neil Gaiman’s Smoke and Mirrors collection, about a poor, lonely, old man, who feels he is being punished forever, isolated in a cold, distant place, surrounded by small elf-like creatures who [...]

Tuesday, October 25, 2011

Comments Off

Neil Gaiman notes that the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund is having a drive for support and funds to carry on their very important work, protecting comic book creators and retailers’ rights to freedom of speech and expression – often a very expensive task. In addition to encouraging more folks to join, there is also [...]

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 [...]

Well, there’s an idea……

Sunday, June 26, 2011

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 [...]
