Neil Gaiman is a British author known for his work across fantasy, horror, comics, and children’s literature. Born in 1960 in Hampshire, England, he began his career as a journalist before transitioning to fiction writing in the late 1980s.
His breakthrough came with The Sandman, a comic series published by DC’s Vertigo imprint from 1989 to 1996. The series follows Morpheus, the Lord of Dreams, and became one of the first comics to be listed on the New York Times Best Seller list. Gaiman went on to write novels including American Gods, Coraline, Stardust, and The Graveyard Book, the last of which won both the Carnegie Medal and Newbery Medal.
Many of Gaiman’s works have been adapted for screen, including Coraline (animated film), Stardust (film), American Gods (television series), Good Omens (television series co-written with Terry Pratchett), and The Sandman (Netflix series). He has won Hugo, Nebula, and Bram Stoker awards, among many others.
