Based on my explorations so far, I think I'd go with Alan Moore, though Frank Miller certainly impresses.The Armchair Squidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13509001761075530940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8586403344533829376.post-47880942559458270582022-11-14T11:53:21.813-05:002022-11-14T11:53:21.813-05:00It's been a long time since I read Sandman, bu...It's been a long time since I read Sandman, but I know immediately when I began reading it that Gaiman was the best writer comics had, possibly the best writer comics have ever had, and there have been many excellent comic book writers.<br />My feeling upon watching the series is that they did a great job of capturing the feel of the comics. It was excellent, actually.<br />Not quite as much gross stuff as they wanted the TV series to have a wider audience.<br />The Graveyard Book is one of my favorites by him as well. I had him sign a copy to my son, who also loved it when he read it.<br />(Gaiman owns a copy of my Shadow Spinner book. The Man with No Eyes was in no small part inspired by Corinthian.)Andrew Leonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13964775673414653644noreply@blogger.com
