Neil Gaiman and RU SiriusNeil Gaiman did the Sandman comics, wrote the best sellers American Gods and Anansi Boys. We were lucky enough to get him into our studio while he was on tour supporting his great new collection, Fragile Things: Short Fiction and Wonders. Oh how we talked: about his new book; about tricksters; about Alan Moore’s sudden spiritual conversion, and so much more.

Neil Gaiman is a charming fellow!
