He’s a very well known writer. He wrote the Sandman graphic novel, Good Omens, and a bunch of stuff that most book enthusiasts would be aware of. Lots of his works are also TV shows. I had listened to part 1 and 2 of the Sandman audiobook.

Gaiman, fighter of the straightman. Keeper of the butt.
I’m imagining that I might be mispronouncing it in my mind. But that’s what I thought when I read his name.

He sort of like the comic book version of Tim Burton.
Does a lot of comic books with goth type themes and characters. Probably his most popular is Sandman which was huge in the 90s especially with the goth scenes.

Grimy news, but I expect Neil to not be intimidated and stand up for whatever rights he has. Hopefully Netflix don't cancel Sandman.

I think I read somewhere that season 2 was already greenlit.

Considering most readers on this board think his writing is good to great to exemplary... I think you mixed him up with someone else.

'Comic book'.
He is the author of probably the greatest comic book of all time.
Figured out why I never heard of him. Thanks

My Sandman Omnibus set and Coraline are among my most treasured books. I also love Stardust too.
Yeah, after reading the article it appears the whole thing is far from being black and white.

These are not best comics.
He didn't write The Dark Knight Returns or Watchmen.

Damn it and I loved the movie Coraline.
There goes the chances for the sequel.
Something magical about stop motion movies man.

I would say Watchmen is, but Dark Knight Returns? It’s great, but if we’re talking DC comics, I’d rank DC: New Frontier, All Star Superman, and Batman: The Long Halloween above it, probably some others too if I think about it.
I love it ! Named my daughter after it.He’s written a number of books that became big in media, eg.

A little bit but more like Dollar Store Tim Burton.

This is gonna devastate a lot of people. He always had a reputation as one of the good ones. My wife spent a day with him once as park of her publishing job and said spoke very highly of him.
The accusations sound credible and they sound like cases of withdrawn consent, which is messy and used to be a big issue in kink until the community got better about things like safe words and boundaries. It sounds like Neil might not be caught up.
It's probably a reachable moment and if he handles it that way his audience might forgive him. Cheating on Amanda Palmer and the eyebrow raising age games don't help though.

Here's a very long (c. 12,000 words) and explicitly detailed new article about this. Delves into his uncoventional marriage, his upbringing as a scientologist, parallels with his books, and exactly what he's alleged to have done.

The Sandman is something else, I was blown away when I originally read it in high school. I enjoyed some of his other stuff, but nothing came close to the level of the Sandman, which competes with Morrison’s Doom Patrol run for my favorite comics of all time.
As usual, I’ll await discovery and an actual trial before I jump to any conclusions.

Thought this story below was going to turn interesting or insightful since it went viral, but it’s just some insecure journalist taking shots at Neil as payback for possibly being written into American Gods as a bad guy, which he holds a grudge about to this day.
Guess it’s time for everyone to pile on.

I actually "know" this person. Well, I don't know him well but he used to hang out at the coffee houses here in Vegas. I might have talked to him once but I've seen him numerous times in person.
