Neil Gaiman is the celebrated author of books, graphic novels, short stories, and films for readers of all ages. Some of his most notable titles include the groundbreaking #1 New York Times bestselling Sandman comics series (which garnered nine Eisner Awards and the World Fantasy Award for Best Short Story); The Graveyard Book (the first book ever to win both the Newbery and Carnegie medals); American Gods (which will soon be released as a television show in the US); and The Ocean at the End of the Lane, the UK's National Book Award 2013 Book of the Year. The film adaptation of How to Talk to Girls at Parties (directed by John Cameron Mitchell) will be in theaters in 2018.
“Gaiman--who is best known as the creator of the respected DC
Comics ''Sandman'' series--has a deft hand with the mythologies he
tinkers with here; even better, he's a fine, droll
storyteller.”—The New York Times
“The Holy Grail of Gaiman comics.”--SY FY WIRE
“An atmospheric, beautifully illustrated take on Gaiman’s
story.”--AV CLUB

adaptation it deserves.”--BROKEN FRONTIER

“Dark Horse’s comic book adaption is an appropriate tribute to his
long-form vision... Although both mediums are image-oriented and
the source material is the same, adapting the novel to television
versus comic books offers an entirely different set of
circumstances and challenges, ones which should make both takes
unique in their own right; giving fans of American Gods an
entertaining fable set to unravels in two varied mediums.”--SCREEN

to the comic book medium.”--COMICS BEAT
