Do you know Neil Gaiman?
Neil Richard Gaiman is an English author of science fiction and fantasy short stories and novels, graphic novels, comics, and films. His notable works include The Sandman comic series, Stardust and American Gods.-wikipedia

I saw his name from a magazine when I was in highschool.I just saw an image from The Sandman,A dark hair girl saying "hey!you are bleeding"
Until then,I hadn't seen any foreign comics except for Japanese manga.
From that moment,I really wanted to get a copy of the series,But it was almost impossible to a Korean girl.(And it was 12years ago,means there wasn't internet.)
But after few years I could see his name again on some graphic novels with Dave Mckean(one of the greatest illustrator of our time!)'s fantastic illustrations!
..Oh.I lost my mind again.When I'm saying as a fan,I always lost in words.
anyway.
I watched Stardust last thursday.(?not sure-,.-)
And one of my favorite Neil Gaiman's book is Never where.
Those two stories have couple of things in common.
There're girl&boy.And the girls show the way to go to.
Boys had certain goals at the start of the story,but girls changed their lives.

And I drew a girl & a boy again,He's seeing the light at the end of her finger.
The place she points at.
oh!This weather makes me can't stop thinking of girls and boys!!

I first learned about "The Sandman" and Vertigo comics through an art book called "Vertigo Visions: Artwork from the Cutting Edge of Comics." The images in that book are incredible!

Correct me if I'm wrong...but didn't Yoshitaka Amano do some of the artwork for Sandman?
