Prescott, Danielle Russell, Joe Sutliff Sanders, Joseph Michael
Sommers, and Justin Wigard 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 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. 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 always seems fully assembled
virtually from the start of his career, but only came to feel
comfortable in his own voice far later in life.
