Neil Gaiman. There's a boyishness about Neil Gaiman that makes you doubt the 40 years he claims.
A bad boyishness, complete with a mop of unruly dark hair and -- on the day I met with him -- a black leather jacket. He wears sunglasses the whole time we speak: modishly pale ones that only just mask the intense green of his eyes. He is, he tells me at one point, the father of three: an 18-year-old, a 16-year-old and a seven-year-old. And so 40 makes more sense but, even so, you wonder at the magic he's woven to maintain his youthful mien. On the other hand, consider the work: the fantastic worlds he's created that surely require the outlook of someone who sees a universe filled with wonder everywhere he looks. And there are compensations for 40. Born in the United Kingdom, Gaiman has made his home in the United States for the last nine years.
At present, Gaiman is looking forward to the publication of Coraline, a children's book expected in mid-2002 and the film version of Good Omens. Yes. Why? I do. Neil Gaiman KPFK interview part 1.

The Early Sandman. < Adventure #72 (March 1942) “Riddle Of The Slave Market”, art by Jack Kirby Joe Simon has said that when, along with Jack, he arrived at DC their first jobs was ghosting for others.
In the past Joe had shown he could be pretty good at mimicking comic artists, some of his Fox covers have been attributed to Lou Fine by comic book experts despite the presence of Joe’s signature. Joe and Jack both worked on a Captain Marvel special which on a whole is a pretty good job of ghosting. However careful attention reveals Jack’s touch on the Captain Marvel job despite the simplicity of the art work. So far no one has identified any of the ghosting jobs that Simon and Kirby did for DC. At this point Joe and Jack were pretty comfortable with what it took to make an interesting comic. Captain America was not a perfect prototype for how Simon and Kirby would do Sandman.

'The Sandman' Creator Neil Gaiman. FAN-CAST: The Sandman. The Sandman is one of my favourite series written by one of my favourite authors.

In this casting I am going to actually try and think about who would work in a movie.

Lets hope I did it :) Portraits From The Sandman Universe.
Vertigo Releases Neil Gaiman’s Sandman With Annotations. Image via larryfire.wordpress.com I’m assuming at this point that anyone still reading this has at least some familiarity with the Sandman series.

The Sandman (Comic Book Series) Sandman - Forum. Religion of The Sandman (Dream); from In the Grip of Morpheus in Actio... The character we now know as "The Sandman", whose "real name" is sometimes given as "Dream" or "Morpheus", was famously introduced as a DC Comics character in The Sandman #1 (Jan. 1989) by Neil Gaiman.
Gaiman's imagining of this character is certainly original and important. But the character itself was not original with him. Morpheus is, of course, the principal god of dreams in Greek mythology. Morpheus the "Sandman" has a long history as a concept or character, showing up in mythology, religion, literature, poetry, as a figure of speech, etc. Morpheus the Sandman was mentioned in DC Comics as far back as Action Comics #31 (Dec. 1940).
