NEIL GAIMAN ASYLUM COMIC BOOK! RARE and OUT OF PRINT.
HARD TO FIND COLLECTORS ITEM FEATURING A STORY BY NEIL GAIMAN!
Gaiman collaborates with his MIRACLEMAN and DEATH HIGH COST OF LIVING artist MARK BUCKINGHAM (illustrator of Vertigo Comics Fables) in the fully painted story FEEDERS AND EATERS.
GAIMAN visits the realm of modern HORROR in this comic book published in the early nineites by Millenium Comics. An indie comic with lavish full color artwork and a very small print run. This has become a highly sought after item for fans of Gaiman.
Also in this issue is P Craig Russell (another of Gaiman's Sandman collaborators) adapting Eldorado by Edgar Allan Poe, and a fantastic painted cover by JOHN BOLTON.
This comic book was never available in any mass market retail outlets and could only be found in comic book specialty stores that ordered limited quantities of it at the time (if they even bothered to order it at all!).

Miracleman or Marvelman as he is known in the UK, is the British version of CAPTAIN MARVEL AKA SHAZAM! This is the beginning of Neil Gaimans' saga of "The Silver Age", following Alan Moore's ultimate superhero battle that ended his run on the title.
The start of THE SILVER AGE storyline, which saw the resurrection of Young Miracleman and would describe the beginnings of trouble in Miracleman's idyllic world.
Jumping further into the future, the issue returned the focus to the Miracleman family, specifically on the revival of Young Miracleman.
MARK BUCKINGHAM (collaborator on GAIMAN'S SANDMAN and DEATH series) lavishly illustrates this fantastic high quality full color comic book printed on high quality paper stock.

About the Author 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.
