Neil Gaiman
Neil Gaiman is a British writer and long-time friend of Terry Pratchett, whom he first met when interviewing him for a magazine in the 1980s. Neil made his name in comics first, most notably as the writer of The Sandman series for Dark Horse (an imprint of DC Comics). He later became known as an author, collaborating with Pratchett on Good Omens before going on to write a number of hit fantasy novels for adults and children, including American Gods, Coraline and The Ocean at the End of the Lane. Many of his works have been adapted for television, and he is the showrunner and head writer for the Amazon Prime/BBC adaptation of Good Omens.
