He had good influences - Lafferty, Wolfe, Alan Moore, etc.

He had some works, like Sandman and American Gods, that at the time felt like something unique and wholly different from other fantasy or graphic novels of the time. The world of Sandman was a pretty interesting one, I'll give him that. Unfortunately he's exhausted all of his great ideas and now writes really dull shit.

the money. the money went right.

Tim Burtoning a form of media that had not yet been Burtonised.

He's not bad, but not good.

All of his characters are Neil Gaiman. All of the trees are Neil Gaiman Trees. All of the houses are Neil Gaiman houses. The sky is Neil Gaiman. The clouds are Neil Gaiman. Neil Gaiman Neil Gaiman. Neil Gaiman.

Many people find it appealing for the sake of familiarity, or simply because they like him as a person.

I think it's just sloppy storytelling.

True enough, but in the meantime, we're left with Sandman and American Gods. And Good Omens. And Neverwhere (the novel, the TV show was shit). And Coraline. And that one Sandman light novel he made with the NES and SNES Final Fantasy cover art dude, about japanese foxes and whatnot.

I doubt he's exhausted all of his great ideas though. It's just that he's locked them, now that Palmer, an ultra feminist, has him by the balls. There's no way he could write some of the scenes you find in American Gods when he has to live like that.

You really need to read Neverwhere.

He's had a kid too, which changes your perspective on things. Think three of his last four projects have been YA or those big illustrated books.

Because it breaks the stereotype, or laughably reinforces it?

It heavily breaks it.

It's chock-full of characters and places that are extremely unique from one another.

whilst palmer is an ultra feminist she is not the

kind of feminist, hell, she gets to even raunchier stuff in her own music videos

I heard he likes them young. Young to the point where one we face trouble with the law. What I mean is that he likes little girls, and I don't mean midgets. Well, allegedly he likes baby clams but I've never seen him slurp one down myself. He's probably a nice guy, though, I'd like to hang with him -- in the gallows.
