I first reported on this book last June, and wanted to post an update. There is a new book edited by Joe McCabe called Hanging Out With the Dream King: Interviews with Neil Gaiman and His Collaborators from Fantagraphics Books, which will be released in most bookstores on January 31, 2005. (Comic book stores however have been selling the book since December 29, 2004.) You can also order the book from Amazon.com. This 280 page book includes an interview with Neil and with many of the people he has collaborated with over the years. One of the interviews in the book is with Tori Amos! Past descriptions of the book stated that Tori wrote the book's intro, but that is not true. (Neil did.) You can see the book's cover to the right. Other people interviewed include Charles Vess, P. Craig Russell, Bryan Talbot, Jill Thompson, Sandman co-creators Sam Kieth and Mike Dringenberg and Alice Cooper. Tori's interview in the book will include an amazing drawing from artist Herb Leonhard. The book also features, in its color section, the publication of Bill Sienkiewicz's gorgeous Tori painting from the 2005 RAINN calendar cover.

More Details

You can order this book and read more about it at Amazon.com. Amazon.com is selling the paperback version. There is also a hardcover edition of the book for sale directly from the publisher at fantagraphics.com, signed by Neil Gaiman and limited to 1000 copies. A portion of the proceeds from this edition will go to the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund to help defend comics from censorship.   Also, author Joe McCabe will be doing a signing for this book on Saturday, January 29, 2005 at Atomic City Comics at 642 South Street in Philadelphia, PA. There will be other signings as well, so keep an eye on your area.
