Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) reigns as one of the most critically
decorated and popular authors of the last fifty years. Perhaps best
known as the writer of the Harvey, Eisner, and World Fantasy
Award-winning series The Sandman, Gaiman quickly became equally
renowned in literary circles for Neverwhere, Coraline, and the
award-winning American Gods, as well as the Newbery and Carnegie
Medal-winning The Graveyard Book. For adults, children, comics
readers, and viewers of the BBC's Doctor Who, Gaiman's writing has
crossed the borders of virtually all media, making him a celebrity
around the world. Despite Gaiman's incredible contributions to
comics, his work remains underrepresented in sustained fashion in
comics studies. In this book, the thirteen essays and two
interviews with Gaiman and his frequent collaborator, artist P.
Craig Russell, examine the work of Gaiman and his many
illustrators. The essays discuss Gaiman's oeuvre regarding the
qualities that make his work unique in his eschewing of typical
categories, his proclamations to "make good art," and his own
constant efforts to do so however the genres and audiences may slip
into one another. The Artistry of Neil Gaiman forms a complicated
picture of a man who has always seemed fully assembled virtually
from the start of his career, but only came to feel comfortable in
his own voice far later in life.
