Revision as of 05:39, 1 September 2002 by AdamWill (talk | contribs) (oops, italicisation)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)Neil Gaiman, British science fiction and comic book author, born November 10, 1960 in the United Kingdom. Currently lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota USA.
After a start in the world of journalism (during which he wrote his first book, a now sought-after throwaway biography of the band Duran Duran), Gaiman was picked up by DC Comics editor Karen Berger to revive the series "Black Orchid." His best-known work is the Sandman comics series, which chronicles the adventures of Dream, the personification of the human imagination. Gaiman has also written some novels, and the short dark fantasy television series Neverwhere. His books include:
- Stardust
- Good Omens (with Terry Pratchett)
- American Gods
- Smoke And Mirrors (a collection of short stories)
- Coraline (A children's book)
- Neverwhere
- The Day I Swapped My Dad for 2 Goldfish (children's picture book)
Gaiman is an active supporter of the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund, and he regularly participates in fundraisers for the group.
Shortly before the publication of American Gods, Gaiman began to write a weblog, which now resides on his official site and is one of the most-read weblogs on the Internet. Parts of it were extracted for publication in the NESFA Press collection of Gaiman miscellany, Adventures in the Dream Trade.
