Kilgore, Kristine Larsen, Thayse Madella, Erica McCrystal, Tara Prescott-Johnson, Danielle Russell, Joe Sutliff Sanders, Joseph Michael Sommers, and Justin Wigard Neil Gaiman (b. 1960) reigns as one of the most critically decorated and popular authors of the last fifty years. Perhaps best known as the writer of the Harvey, Eisner, and World Fantasy Award–winning series The Sandman, Gaiman quickly became equally renowned in literary circles for Neverwhere, Coraline, and the award-winning American Gods, as well as the Newbery and Carnegie Medal–winning The Graveyard Book. For adults, children, comics readers, and viewers of the BBC’s Doctor Who, Gaiman’s writing has crossed the borders of virtually all media, making him a celebrity around the world. Despite Gaiman’s incredible contributions to comics, his work remains underrepresented in sustained fashion in comics studies. In this book, the thirteen essays and two interviews with Gaiman and his frequent collaborator, artist P. Craig Russell, examine the work of Gaiman and his many illustrators. The essays discuss Gaiman’s oeuvre regarding the qualities that make his work unique in his eschewing of typical categories, his proclamations to “make good art,” and his own constant efforts to do so however the genres and audiences may slip into one another. The Artistry of Neil Gaiman forms a complicated picture of a man who has always seemed fully assembled virtually from the start of his career, but only came to feel comfortable in his own voice far later in life.

She holds the fate of the world in the palm of her hand. Arlana Von Fordin grew up knowing she was born to fulfill a prophecy. The pressure of her unknown destiny weighs heavily on a young woman who just wants to be normal. Then her future arrives in the form of a mysterious and sexy soldier from the neighboring empire Browan—a land no one has entered in almost two hundred years. Faced with a dangerous journey into a secretive country, haunted by seductive and terrifying dreams, the one thing Arlana longs for is someone to see her for the woman she is beneath the magic she commands. He has to protect her, whether he likes it or not. Lord Commander Oric of Browan has resented Arlana Von Fordin for most of his life. He blames her for taking away his choices and forcing him onto a path he never wanted. When he’s sent to bring her into his country on a quest to stabilize a rogue magic, he expects his hate to intensify. Instead, as he gets to know the shy sorceress, he’s overwhelmed with protectiveness and desire. Faced with all the forces threatening her, Oric must finally come to terms with his own destiny, and a love he never anticipated. Love is their only hope. Before meeting Oric, Arlana never expected to find a man who would love her for herself. But Fate demands a heavy price. For them to be together, they must confront Arlana’s destiny and right an ancient wrong. With time itself their enemy, they’ll have to discover if their love is strong enough to keep them alive…and save the world.
