by Neil Gaiman (Author), Dave McKean (Author)


Published by KITCHEN SINK in 1997. Presented for the first time with the full original color tonal artwork as illustrated by DAVE MCKEAN.

NEIL GAIMAN'S FIRST PUBLISHED GRAPHIC NOVEL. HIS FIRST COLLABORATION WITH DAVE MCKEAN. The UK Version was written and published in 1987, before SANDMAN was conceived!

Product Description
An exploration of the trappings of violence and the failings of memory, Violent Cases marks the beginning of the astonishing and award-winning collaboration between author Neil Gaiman and the artist Dave McKean, in softcover format. Set only in the memory of its author, this brillant short story meanders through levels of recollection surrounding a childhood injury. After dislocating his arm, a young boy is taken to see a doctor - an aged osteopath who was once the doctor of legendary gangster Al Capone. Through studied observations and painstaking attempts at truthful recall, the author reconstructs his tattered memories of the events surrounding his meeting with the doctor, and delves into the psychological complexities that emerged from the doctor's bizarre tales of Capone's life of crime. Gorgeously illustrated in mixed media by Dave McKean, Violent Cases is a sensuous and thought-provoking meditation on our memories.

Highly recommended with lavish mixed media painted artwork by Mckean and a compelling semi-autobiographical story by Gaiman.

Gorgeously illustrated in by Dave McKean, VIOLENT CASES is a sensuous and thought-provoking meditation on our memories.

It is in many ways a far superior improvement to the 1st British Edition published in 1987 by Escape. Beneath a brand new cover by DAVE MCKEAN, the artwork is presented for the first time in it's original full color tones and tints, presented in the manner that McKean originally envisioned. It is also greatly enhanced by the high quality glossy paper stock this version is printed on.

This book is actually the first in a planned trilogy of stories. The second volume is entitled MR PUNCH, and was published by DC/VERTIGO COMICS. The third volume is still to come in some distant future.

Dream - The Heart of a Star

Art by Miguelanxo Prado

In the far distant past, Dream and his new romantic interest Killalla of the Glow travel to a meeting of astronomical phenomena. The mortal Killalla is astonished to learn that the beings with which she is mingling and chit-chatting with rather comfortably are, in fact, the very stars, galaxies, and dimensions which comprise her universe. After an encounter with her world's own sun, Sto-Oa, Killalla and the star fall in love, possibly thanks to Desire's powers, as the distraught and heartbroken Dream watches on.

This story showcases a number of things mentioned in The Sandman series but never before illustrated. Here, Death is a cold unmerciful character and Delight has not yet become Delirium. The roots of Dream's conflicts with Desire (in the beginning of this story, they are very close) are illustrated for the first time, as are the roots of the rules forbidding the Endless from becoming romantically involved with mortals. The first aspect of Despair also appears in the story, being quite different in appearance and more sociable than her latter aspect.

In addition, other DC comics characters and beings are suggested in the story. The character Killalla is from the planet Oa (Although technically, at this point in time, she should be from planet Maltus), and is an ancestor of the Guardians of the Universe, who go on to form the Green Lantern Corps. Her power to manipulate green energy can be seen as an evolution towards the creation of the Green Lantern's power. Despair has a conversation with a red giant star named Rao about the creation of life on an unstable world and the possibility of a lone survivor to continually mourn the destruction of that world. This is an allusion to the history of Superman; Rao is the red giant sun around which Superman's homeworld of Krypton once orbited, as well as the Kryptonian God. (The colors of the stars in the story follow the DC Universe's standards, not the actual star life cycle.)

The story is narrated by the Sun, depicted within the comic as a very young and clumsy star known by his Latin name Sol. He is telling the tale to the Earth at a time when she is still sleeping and has no life on her. Dream converses with Sol about the possibility of life on one of his planets. Sol expresses an interest in them resembling Killalla, setting the stage for our own existence as well as providing a possible reason why Dream seems to favor Earth as opposed to any other planet in the universe.

Asked why he likes comics more than other forms of storytelling Gaiman said “One of the joys of comics has always been the knowledge that it was, in many ways, untouched ground. It was virgin territory. When I was working on Sandman, I felt a lot of the time that I was actually picking up a machete and heading out into the jungle. I got to write in places and do things that nobody had ever done before. When I’m writing novels I’m painfully aware that I’m working in a medium that people have been writing absolutely jaw-droppingly brilliant things for, you know, three-four thousand years now. You know, you can go back. We have things like The Golden Ass. And you go, well, I don’t know that I’m as good as that and that’s two and a half thousand years old. But with comics I felt like — I can do stuff nobody has ever done. I can do stuff nobody has ever thought of. And I could and it was enormously fun.”

HELLRAISER WILD CARDS GRAPHIC NOVEL CLIVE BARKER GEORGE RR MARTIN DAVE MCKEAN 92

EPIC ANTHOLOGY GRAPHIC NOVEL v1

ILLUSTRATED BOOK.

PAINTED COVER BY DAVE MCKEAN (SANDMAN). featuring a baby PINHEAD.

This volume was never sold in the mass market and only available through comic book specialty shops.

Rare collector's items.

A volume of the beautiful full color lavishly illustrated GRAPHIC NOVEL, which includes GEORGE RR MARTIN's shared universe saga of THE WILD CARDS and CLIVE BARKER's HELLRAISER, as well as a Dinosaur story as well as a story by screenwriter MARK VERHEIDEN (BATTLESTAR GALACTICA, TIMECOP, ALIENS and SMALLVILLE)

Published in 1992 by Epic/Marvel Comics, this volume is OUT OF PRINT and a VERY RARE COLLECTOR'S ITEMS!

Clive Barker's HELLRAISER and the creepy cenobites are featured in a fully painted story.

Wild Cards is a science fiction and superhero anthology series set in a shared universe. The series was created by a group of New Mexico science fiction authors, and mostly edited by George R. R. Martin.

Short stories based on the series appeared in the anthology-format comic book ("Wild Cards") published by Marvel Comics' Epic imprint.

An alien bomb is detonated above the planet, shedding an indiscriminate gene virus on an Earth barely recovered from the horrors of World War ll. The result: Wild Cards. ACES blessed with superhuman powers and JOKERS cursed with bizarre physical and mental disfigurements.

This is their story.

Epic is a full color anthology series from Marvel Comics’ creator-owned Epic imprint. Edited by Atomeka’s Dave Elliott (A1), it served as a worthy showcase for some of Epic’s many great titles. The series was printed in a deluxe style format which does a beautiful job of showing off the artistic talents from the various creators.

Featured stories ranging from horror to action/adventure. The first issue begins with Hellraiser: Birth Rite, wherein Dan Chichester writes of a young couple who try unsuccessfully to conceive a baby. They decide to conjure a demon who is said to aid in conception. The demon does exactly that, just not in the way the couple had pictured. Mark Verheiden’s Stalkers follows with a tense tale of the mercenary police force. These tales are followed by the dinosaur/science-fiction of Dreadlands, and a new adventure featuring Epic’s popular adaptation of the Wildcards characters.

COLLECTOR'S ITEM! Highly sought after.

JOHN CONSTANTINE HELLBLAZER #1 COMIC BOOK!

cover designed by DAVE MCKEAN.

THIS VERSION IS LONG OUT OF PRINT.

This fantastic series traverses Heaven, Hell, Limbo, and earth, following fallen angels, escaped demons, and everyone in between.

Hellblazer is the dark story of demon-foiler John Constantine, who first appeared in Saga of the Swamp Thing, created by ALAN MOORE (WATCHMEN). The English street mage thumbs his nose at both heaven and hell, and meddling in all manner of celestial affairs.

Product Description
Following in the vivid footsteps of Swamp Thing and Sandman, here is an occult thriller that teeters between our world and the next, during one man's non-stop adventure. Bedraggled medium and exorcist John Constantine prowls the outskirts of society in search of inner peace, only to find himself the lone defender of our world from the forces of evil.

Filled with incredible atmosphere, smart British-working-class political sensibilities, and just the right amount of levity you'd expect from an insouciant, somewhat amoral occult-dabbler.

* Language: English
* ISBN-10: 1563893878
* ISBN-13: 978-1563893872
* Product Dimensions: 10.6 x 7.8 x 0.5 inches


Written by NEIL GAIMAN (Sandman, Coraline, Neverwhere, American Gods, Books of Magic, Black Orchid, Miracleman).

Art by DAVE MCKEAN (Batman: Arkham Asylum, Sandman).

An amazing portfolio of dark and arresting imagery, THE SANDMAN DUST COVERS: THE COLLECTED SANDMAN COVERS presents the haunting artwork of this critically acclaimed and award-winning epic. Through these dynamic pieces, Dave McKean reflected the mesmerizing mythology, adult nature, and imaginative storytelling that made the story of Morpheus, the King of Dreams, such a groundbreaking series.

Featuring an exclusive Sandman tale, this collection also includes insightful and revealing cover commentaries by Sandman author Neil Gaiman.

If you are reading this, I will assume that you are already a fan of either Dave McKean in particular or Sandman in general.

Included are all the covers from the Sandman series minus the logo, publisher and price indicia, UPC codes, etc., thus showcasing these wonderful works of art in the format they deserve. Also included are some extra pages of art used to fill out the Sandman trade paperback collections. Even if you own the whole series, it is a worthwhile buy. But what makes the collection particularly unique is the inclusion of a brand new true story by Neil Gaiman and McKean about how the ficitonal world of the Sandman intruded upon their lives during the planning stage of the series.

As other reviewers have noted, the artwork is worth viewing on its own merits and deals with universal themes from the unconscious, so even if you don't know what the heck Sandman is it is worth a look. This is surrealism at its height by a master of many artistic media including painting, collage and computer graphics.

Barron Storey has long been recognized as one of America's finest illustrators. His work has been chronicled in various books on the history of illustration, and in more than 25 of the Society of Illustrators' annual hardback volumes.

Work by Dave McKean, George Pratt, Bill Koeb, and Barron Storey. Introduction by Neil Gaiman. Black and white.

In celebration of THE ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 1 HC, Vertigo proudly re-presents the classic debut issue of THE SANDMAN, completely recolored. Written by New York Times bestselling author Neil Gaiman (Anansi Boys, American Gods), with art by Sam Kieth (BATMAN: SECRETS) & Mike Dringenberg and a cover by Dave McKean (Mirrormask), this is the unforgettable issue the introduced the modern-day mythology of Morpheus, the Endless, and so much more. This Special Edition presents the brilliantly recolored version of the issue, as seen in THE ABSOLUTE SANDMAN VOL. 1, along with ads spotlighting THE ABSOLUTE SANDMAN and more.

Neil Gaiman wrote the award-winning graphic novel series The Sandman, and with Terry Pratchett, the award-winning novel Good Omens. His first book for children, The Day I Swapped My Dad for Two Goldfish, illustrated by Dave McKean, hasn't yet won any awards, but was one of Newsweek's Best Children's Books of 1997. Angels & Visitations, a small press story collection, was nominated for a World Fantasy Award and won the International Horror Critics Guild Award for Best Collection, despite not having any horror in it. Well, hardly any.Born in England, he now makes his home in America, in a big dark house of uncertain location where he grows exotic pumpkins and accumulates computers and cats. He is currently at work turning his first novel Neverwhere into a film for Jim Henson films.
Asked why he likes comics more than other forms of storytelling Gaiman said “One of the joys of comics has always been the knowledge that it was, in many ways, untouched ground. It was virgin territory. When I was working on Sandman, I felt a lot of the time that I was actually picking up a machete and heading out into the jungle. I got to write in places and do things that nobody had ever done before. When I’m writing novels I’m painfully aware that I’m working in a medium that people have been writing absolutely jaw-droppingly brilliant things for, you know, three-four thousand years now. You know, you can go back. We have things like The Golden Ass. And you go, well, I don’t know that I’m as good as that and that’s two and a half thousand years old. But with comics I felt like — I can do stuff nobody has ever done. I can do stuff nobody has ever thought of. And I could and it was enormously fun.”

"The Tempest", the companion piece to "A Midsummer Night's Dream", from the third collection, Dream Country. "The Tempest" is more reflective than "A Midsummer Night's Dream", and features less of the original play, though it echoes it cleverly in several ways and sequences. It is principally about Gaiman's Morpheus and his issues with himself and his place in things. Here we see in detail the Morpheus only briefly fleshed in former issues - the vulnerable, emotional, confused Dream King. Gaiman uses "The Tempest", a play fundamentally about change, endings, and new beginnings, to finish the series.

The Tempest. Illustrated by fantasy master Charles Vess, whose art is full of emotion and the sights of the period. This, the story of the world's greatest writer's last work, which is itself, the story of a powerful magician who breaks his books and leaves his island. Will Shakespeare himself, is faced with the weight of old age, his distance from his wife, and his daughter being courted by a boy he does not approve of. He deals with these by getting drunk with Ben Jonson, and pouring his heart and soul into The Tempest. Finished the play, Will accompanies the King of Dreams to his castle for a drink, and to ask him why this was the play that Morpheus wanted written about him. Because Morpheus, unlike some of his family and unlike Prospero, the hero of The Tempest, will never leave his island. Although he is the Prince of Stories, he will never have one written about him. And, I guess, that's where we came in, fellow readers.
