While he can see both sides, he comments on what a grey area the 'Fair Use' defence is ... more here on his blog .
A case that Neil has been supporting was won by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund. Charges against a comic book guy whose employee inadvertently gave a 9 year old boy a comic with nudity (not pornography, just nudity) were dropped. More on it here .
If anyone has anything that they want to discuss about Neil Gaiman, this is the place to do it! :) Any interesting stories? Do you know something new about Neil? Have you met him? Let's talk about Neil!
Welcome to the TV.com Forums for Neil Gaiman. Here is your area to discuss, dissect and debate all things about this person.
Neil Gaiman is an author. And a song writer. And a director/producer. And a screen writer. He has albums out (okay, books on cd, but still... they sell well); he has videos that he's in, and videos that he's directed. He wrote the English version of the script for the movie "Princess Mononoke".
I started reading Neil Gaiman's work back in the early 90s; I'd seen an interview he did on "Prisoners of Gravity" and got interested in the comic book that he was writing at the time, "The Sandman". I'd never heard of it before, but was intrigued by the interview, and so went out to look for it. And I'm glad I did!
Since that time, I've tried to keep up with everything that he does, but he's just so talented and prolific that it's hard. He writes novels and short stories (that usually win awards), he does picture books (that also win awards), he does movies, books on tape, song lyrics... there just doesn't seem to be anything that Neil can't do, and do well.
I've had the pleasure of meeting him twice at book signings and he's always been friendly and personable, even after hours of signing. He's just an all-round great guy!
