Over the past twenty years, Neil Gaiman has developed into the
premier fantasist of his generation, achieving that rarest of
combinations--unrivaled critical respect and extraordinary
commercial success. From the landmark comic book series "The
Sandman" to novels such as the "New York Times" bestselling
"American Gods" and "Anansi Boys," from children's literature like
"Coraline" to screenplays for such films as "Beowulf," Gaiman's
work has garnered him an enthusiastic and fiercely loyal global
following.
Now, for the first time ever, "Prince of Stories" chronicles the
history and impact of the complete works of Neil Gaiman in film,
fiction, music, comic books, and beyond. Containing hours of
exclusive interviews with Gaiman and conversations with his
collaborators, as well as wonderful nuggets of his work--such as
the beginning of an unpublished novel, a rare comic and a
never-before-published essay--this is a treasure trove of all
things Gaiman. In addition to providing in-depth information and
commentary on Gaiman's myriad works, "Prince of Stories" includes
rare photographs, book covers, artwork, and related trivia and
minutiae. It is both an insightful introduction to his work and a
true "must-have" for his ever-growing legion of fans.
Writer/artist Rick Veitch's career bridges the underground comix of
the 1970s, mainstream DC and Vertigo Comics, and the
self-publishing revolution of the 1980s and 1990s. In that
extraordinary body of work, Brat Pack remains a landmark, and Teen
Angels & New Mutants is the first book-length, in-depth study
of a creator and graphic novel worthy of the autopsy. En route,
Teen Angels offers a crash-course on teen pop culture and superhero
sidekick history, fresh analysis of Dr. Fredric Wertham's seminal
books, ponders real-world "new mutants" like Michael Jackson, The
Olsen Twins, and Justin Bieber, and charts the 1980s comicbook
explosion and 1990s implosion--and more.
