Perhaps best known as the writer of the Harvey, Eisner, and World Fantasy Award-winning series \u003ci\u003eThe Sandman\u003c\/i\u003e, Gaiman quickly became equally renowned in literary circles for \u003ci\u003eNeverwhere\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eCoraline\u003c\/i\u003e, and the award-winning \u003ci\u003eAmerican Gods\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the Newbery and Carnegie Medal-winning \u003ci\u003eThe Graveyard Book\u003c\/i\u003e. For adults, children, comics readers, and viewers of the BBC's \u003ci\u003eDoctor Who\u003c\/i\u003e, Gaiman's writing has crossed the borders of virtually all media, making him a celebrity around the world. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eDespite Gaiman's incredible contributions to comics, his work remains underrepresented in sustained fashion in comics studies. In this book, the thirteen essays and two interviews with Gaiman and his frequent collaborator, artist P. Craig Russell, examine the work of Gaiman and his many illustrators. The essays discuss Gaiman's oeuvre regarding the qualities that make his work unique in his eschewing of typical categories, his proclamations to \"make good art,\" and his own constant efforts to do so however the genres and audiences may slip into one another. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Artistry of Neil Gaiman\u003c\/i\u003e forms a complicated picture of a man who has always seemed fully assembled virtually from the start of his career, but only came to feel comfortable in his own voice far later in life.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Joseph Michael Sommers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e University Press of Mississippi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/25\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSeries:\u003c\/b\u003e Critical Approaches to Comics Artists\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781496821652\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePaper Edition\u003c\/b\u003e","brand":"University Press of Mississippi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43424209928329,"sku":"9781496821652","price":35.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/9240\/6921\/files\/img_0e71f4a1-02cb-4249-a918-39d3ac28eb8b.jpg?v=1741077488","url":"https:\/\/sonsanddaughtersbooks.com\/products\/the-artistry-of-neil-gaiman-finding-light-in-the-shadows-9781496821652","provider":"Sons and Daughters Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
