Hanging Out With The Dream King: Conversations With Neil Gaiman And His Collaborators

Description

Neil Gaiman is one of the world's most successful and versatile writers. He is a best-selling novelist (_American Gods_), an award-winning comic book writer (_The Sandman_), popular children's book author (_Coraline_, _The Wolves in the Walls_), and a highly respected screenwriter (_MirrorMask_, _Neverwhere_. Yet with all the fans hungry to know more about his work, there has never been a single major nonfiction book spanning Gaiman's entire career. Until now. _Hanging Out with the Dream King: Conversations with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators_ presents a thorough look at Gaiman's work not only through his eyes, but through the eyes of his many talented collaborators. Over two-dozen artists, writers, editors, and musicians share their thoughts on working with Gaiman, and present a unique mosaic portrait of the man whose name has become synonymous with modern fantasy. Although the book's scope is not limited to Gaiman's best-selling comic book creation _The Sandman_, _Hanging Out with the Dream King_ features comprehensive interviews with all of the major _Sandman_ artists, including rare and exclusive interviews with _Sandman_ co-creators Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg. Illustrated with many unpublished photos and comics pages, and with 16 pages in color, this is the book Gaiman's fans have been waiting for. - Foreword - Introduction - Neil Gaiman: Part One - Beginnings -- Dave McKean -- Kim Newman -- Stephen Jones -- Karen Berger -- Sam Kieth -- Mike Dringenberg -- Kelley Jones -- Charles Vess -- Colleen Doran -- Shawn McManus -- Jill Thompson -- P.
