Petit commentaire sur la critique ... sans avoir lu le Chasseur de Rêves. Le fait que Morphée ne soit qu'un personnage subalterne de l'histoire ne devrait pas trop décontenancer les lecteurs de Sandman

Oui, oui, j'étais au courant. Ce n'est pas Superman. Mais bon, je me suis dit que pour quelqu'un qui n'aurait jamais rien lu, ni ça, ni le comics, c'était peut-être à préciser, que malgré le titre, le Sandman en question ne soit pas le vrai héros de l'histoire.

Du amano, en general, tu l'achetes po pour feuilleter vite fait ! lol !

The Thursday schedule was very light. Most of the true fans and fanboys show up on that day to get in on early deals before prices go up on Friday and Saturday. The guests that fans and fanboys, and not many "civilians", drool over are usually talking on that day. Dave McKean gave a talk going over a retrospective of his art over the last 15-20 years. Neil Gaiman gave a brief talk and showed a documentary that he filmed. He has finally worked out that he will be able to write and direct the "Death: High Cost of Living" movie. He thought he should practice directing a film before dedicating a year of his life to directing Death movie; mainly so see if he actually would like directing. He created a wonderful documentary on English artist John Bolton. There are many surprises in this wonderful little short film, and I'd rather not spoil it for anyone by saying anything about it. Needless to say, Neil quite enjoyed directing and can't wait to get started on Death. His rational for sitting in the chair is "If someone is going to fuck up my creation, I'd rather it be me."

Then came the panel all of my friends were waiting for. Lisa Henson, Jim Henson's daughter, announced that though "The Dark Crystal" and "Labyrinth" were considered initial failures, they realize that both of those have an enormous cult following. Given this, she is proud to announce the first artistic/edgier children's film from Henson productions since 1986, Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's MirrorMask!!!! They just finished principle photography the week before the Con, and now Dave will spend the next year and a half animating it. Neil wrote the film, and Dave is directing it. They showed a few stills from the film, and it looks simply magical. The story is a "through the looking glass" sort, much like labyrinth, and I am really anticipating it. I hope people will really rally around this film.

Sandman, tome 1 : La Saison des brumesÉditeur : Delcourt (19 septembre 2003)  Collection : Contrebande  Format : Cartonné - 232 pages  ISBN : 2847891897  Prix : 19 euros 95

Now that he's a bestselling fantasy novelist, Gaiman returns to the comics series that made his reputation with this new volume of seven gorgeously illustrated stories. Gaiman specializes in inventing fantastic allegories for the quotidian, in a voice that casually shifts between uneasy realism and Borgesian grandeur. In Sandman cosmology, "The Endless" are seven immortal siblings who personify abstract concepts: Dream, Death, Destiny and so on. This work devotes a story to each of them, drawn in distinctly different styles by an all-star lineup of American, British and European cartoonists and fine artists. Gaiman is famous for writing to his artists' strengths, and he does so here. P. Craig Russell draws the surreal fantasia "Death and Venice" with the opulent brio of his opera adaptations. "What I've Tasted of Desire" is a darkly sexual fable, painted by Milo Manara in the style of his more X-rated work. A couple of the stories find Gaiman working in a more experimental mode than usual, notably "Fifteen Portraits of Despair," a set of anecdotes and prose poems accompanied by Barron Storey's tormented, abstract drawings and paintings. Longtime comics fans will notice plenty of inside jokes in "The Heart of a Star," but most of this book is a red carpet-or perhaps a Persian rug-rolled out for Gaiman's prose readers to see his visions turned into lush, dramatic images.

Gillossen,vendredi 12 décembre 2003, 12:53 a écrit :Petite info, le tome 4 est nominé dans la catégorie " meilleur scénario " pour Angoulême 2004, si je ne m'abuse.

Le prix du scénario a été attribué à l'Anglais de New York, Neil Gaiman, pour "Sandman, la saison des brumes" (Delcourt), une histoire de descente aux enfers, de lutte avec le Diable et avec ses propres démons, mêlant mythes littéraires et références sociales.
