Biography
Neil Gaiman naît le 10 novembre 1960 à Portchester. Dans sa jeunesse, il est très attiré par les comics. Après avoir vu certains de ses manuscrits être refusés par plusieurs éditeurs, il suit des études de journalisme dans le but de se créer des contacts pouvant l'aider, du moins l'espère-t-il, à être publié plus tard. C'est à cette époque qu'il écrit son premier livre, la désormais très recherchée biographie du groupe Duran Duran ainsi que de nombreux articles pour Knave magazine . Son intérêt pour les comics renaît lorsqu'il découvre le Swamp Thing d'Alan Moore. Après des échanges épistolaires, les deux hommes deviennent amis et Moore enseigne à Gaiman l'art d'écrire un scénario de comics. Gaiman va proposer plusieurs idées à des éditeurs jusqu'à ce que Karen Berger, rédactrice en chef à DC Comics décide de publier sa version de Sandman. Il collaborera avec Terry Pratchett sur De bons présages (Good Omens), à propos de l'imminence de l'apocalypse.Il écrit deux romans illustrés anglais avec son vieil ami et collaborateur favori Dave McKean : Violent Cases et Signal / Bruit. Il travaille également pour DC Comics qui publie Orchidée noire.
Il a eu trois enfants avec son ex-femme Mary McGrath. Il est marié à Amanda Palmer depuis le 2 janvier 2011.

Génial pour certains, démoniaque pour d'autres, George Lucas est sans aucun doute le réalisateur le plus critiqué de l'histoire du cinéma. Pourquoi tant de fans de Star Wars lui ont tourné le dos lors des sorties DVD des éditions spéciales? Pourquoi George Lucas est-il autant la cible des bloggers et des critiques? The People vs. George Lucas tentera de répondre à ces questions en analysant l'héritage culturel de l'homme qui est entouré de mystère.

Helena (Stephanie Leonidas) works with her parents (Gina McKee and Rob Brydon) at their family circus, but desires to run away and join real life. At the next performance, after Helena and her mother have a heated argument, Helena's mother collapses and is taken to the hospital. Ten days later, while Helena is staying with her grandmother, she finds that the doctors determine that Helena's mother requires an operation, and Helena can only blame herself for the situation. That night, she wakes up in a dream-like state and leaves her building to find three performers outside. As they try to perform for Helena, a shadow encroaches on the area and two of the performers are consumed by it. The third performer, Valentine (Jason Barry), a juggler, helps to quickly direct Helena to safety through the use of magical flying books. She learns they are in the City of Light which is slowly being consumed by shadows, causing its widely-varied citizens to flee. Soon Helena is mistaken for the Princess. She and Valentine are taken to the Prime Minister (Brydon). He explains that the Princess from the Land of Shadow stole a charm from the City of Light, leaving their White Queen (McKee) in a state of unnatural sleep and the City vulnerable to the Shadows. Helena notes the resemblance of the Queen and Minister to her mother and father, and offers to help recover the charm along with Valentine. They are unaware their actions are being watched by the Queen of Shadows (also McKee) who has mistaken Helena as the Princess of the Land of Shadows.
