Happy Birthday, Neil Gaiman

On this date in 1960.

What's your favorite Gaiman work? Yes, it is perfectly legit to just say Sandman. I'm inclined that way myself; specific stories I adore include "A Doll's House", "Season of Mists", and the tales in "World's End", as well as the stories involving Hob Gadling. I also love American Gods. And leave us not forget the English-language script for Princess Mononoke, or the Babylon 5 episode "Day of the Dead".

As a mythology geek, Season of Mists just makes me so very happy. So does American Gods. And, yeah, the entire Hob arc was a lot of fun. Wish I could do that.

Also, "Ramadan" was the first (and still only, I believe) comic story to ever bring me to tears. The shock of the ending was beautifully done, especially reading it as I was about a year into the war in Iraq.

And I just finished reading 1602. That was a hell of a lot of fun, and I know I still didn't get half the references in the story.

And Good Omens was a masterpiece. And I have to cut this off now, or else I'll just keep going.
