![]() Marvel chose Gaiman as part of the lineup of superstar authors that contributed to Amazing Fantasy #1000, a homage to the comic book that introduced Spider-Man to the world to ultimately help fans celebrate the 60th anniversary of the character. Over the course of his long career, Gaiman often came back to comics, mostly for DC, but he also wrote two limited series for Marvel: Marvel 1602 and The Eternals. I’ve read a number of Gaiman’s works: American Gods (soon to be a TV show), Neverwhere, Stardust, and The Sandman to name a few. ![]() ![]() Gaiman's earliest success, however, came from comic books, when he authored The Sandman(which also received a very successful adaptation as a Netflix show) for DC's Vertigo imprint. Neil Gaiman is a world-famous best-selling author who wrote exceptional novels such as American Gods, Coraline, and Stardust, all of which received big screen adaptations. Gaiman's short story in the anthological 1000th issue of Amazing Fantasy brings Spider-Man to life thanks to the author's unique ability to insert fantastic elements into everyday situations or, like in this case, in Gaiman's own life. Superstar writer Neil Gaiman gives a touching tribute to Marvel Comics' Spider-Man, revealing how what is considered one of the greatest stories of the character actually changed his life.
