NEIL GAIMAN
Creator of Sandman and American Gods
In conversation with GRETCHEN HELFRICH
Host of Chicago Public Radio's Odyssey
During the course of twenty years as a writer, Neil Gaiman has been one of the top writers in modern comics. He is also a movie and television screenwriter, a journalist, and now a best-selling novelist. He was the creator and writer of the monthly cult DC Comics horror-weird series, Sandman, which won twelve Eisner Comic Industry Awards and a World Fantasy Award for best short story, making it the first comic ever to receive a literary award. He has a huge Web presence, and his personal Web site, neilgaiman.com, was singled out by CNN for reinventing the marketing of a novel. Forbes magazine described him as "the best-selling author you never heard of."
