Hitting the shelves today, the hardback edition of the excellent P Craig Russell’s adaptation of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman: the Dream Hunters. I want.

Wednesday, October 7, 2009
As regular readers will know I was lucky enough to be at the sold-out event with Neil Gaiman and Ian Rankin discussing writing comics and prose, chaired by Denise Mina, herself no stranger to writing for both prose and graphical fiction, at the Edinburgh International Book Festival this summer, which was a terrific gig (see [...]

Sunday, September 20, 2009
(Detail from a Frank Miller CBLDF T-shirt) The Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) has been tirelessly fighting censorship and defending the first amendment rights of comic book professionals in the United States for the last 23 years. And the latest CBLDF benefit book is really shaping up to be something of a special event. [...]

Saturday, September 5, 2009
Oh my word. And incredibly, that’s just one small part of Neil Gaiman’s basement library in a series of photos taken by Kyle Cassidy for the Shelfari site. I know that every successful writer has a library of sorts. But the sheer, unbelievable, incredible scale of Gaiman’s is just breathtaking. And then I went to Neil’s [...]

Friday, September 4, 2009
(On the left; old style Marvelman – which Marvel owns. On the right; modern Marvelman/Miracleman, which Marvel are getting closer and closer to owning or at least reprinting.) The story so far: Marvel announced last month that it had secured the rights to reprint Mick Anglo’s Marvelman. Much speculation and gossiping ensued over what exactly [...]

Tuesday, August 25, 2009
+ (Borrowed from David S Carter’s Flickr.) Our very own interview king Pádraig Ó Méalóid set this question last week on his live journal blog (and we linked to it then) but we thought it was well worth posting here on the FPI blog as well to let more folks see it. So with Pádraig’s permission we’re [...]

Monday, August 24, 2009
Tim Ogline has posted up some good coverage of Neil Gaiman’s appearance at the Fifth Annual Pen World Voices Festival on the Wild River Review, talking with World Voices director Caro Llewellyn; its an interesting read and a nice sequel of sorts to Tim’s previous chat with Neil we linked to a couple of [...]

Friday, August 21, 2009
Its summer in Scotland but last night you could almost mistake it for autumn – sunny, but cool and even evidence of chestnuts appearing on the trees. Still, a pleasant evening to walk towards Edinburgh’s elegant Georgian New Town (like the Old Town designated a UN World Heritage Site), bells pealing from the distinctive three-spired [...]

Tuesday, August 18, 2009
That man Pádraig Ó Méalóid has been asking questions once more, this time instead of one of his in-depth interviews he is asking one simple question to sixteen comics professionals (including Neil Gaiman, Todd Klein, David Lloyd, Bryan Talbot, Chris Staros, Dave McKean, Garen Ewing and others) “What’s your opinion of the term ‘Graphic Novel’?” [...]

Sunday, August 16, 2009
Here’s a lovely treat from the recent science fiction Worldcon, two top writers brought together as Neil Gaiman reads from Cory Doctorow’s short story The Right Book, created to mark the 150th anniversary of The Bookseller, the journal of the British booktrade, imagining a look forward at the next century and a half of bookselling [...]

Monday, August 10, 2009
Convention Reporter kept up a stream of Tweets last night (Canada time, early hours of this morning for the UK) from the weekend’s Worldcon, one of science fiction’s major global annual events, including live updates from the prestigious Hugo Awards. This year the Hugos decided to include a specific category for Best Graphic Story, the [...]

Thursday, August 6, 2009
You might remember recently I mentioned that Amanda Palmer would be performing a gig in Edinburgh (in the HMV Picture House on Lothian Road, August 22nd) and is threatening all sorts of other sneaky performances during the annual madness of the Edinburgh Festival this month (will no-one think of the children???). I’m also delighted to [...]

Sunday, July 26, 2009
Originally posted 25th July, Updated 26th July… Rich Johnston, over at the Bleeding Cool site has news from San Diego that Marvel has sorted out a deal with Emotiv, the company representing Mick Anglo’s interests in the Marvelman character and will begin republication of Marvelman stories from the 1950s and 1960s. No news yet over the more [...]

Wednesday, July 22, 2009
Crazy Hair By Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean. We love Gaiman and McKean’s picture books in our house; from the very earliest age my daughter Molly has been transfixed with the incredible tales of Dads getting swapped for a pair of goldfish and wolves living in the wall of houses. They’ve been bedtime stories since she was [...]

Thursday, July 16, 2009
“A new graphic novel from DC Comics is “part coda, love letter and summation of Batman’s raison d’etre,” says writer Neil Gaiman. Gaiman’s take on the Batman mystique — Whatever Happened to the Caped Crusader? — was published in two parts as the final editions of the long-running Batman and Detective Comics series.” “Now it’s a [...]
