“Dark Horse’s comic book adaption is an appropriate tribute to his long-form vision...

“Neil Gaiman is one of those once in a millennia creators, much like Shakespeare, whose work is thought-provokingly complex yet interpretable on multiple levels. P. Craig Russell is one of those creators whose made an artform out of translating cherished works to the comic book medium.”--COMICS BEAT
