Neil Gaiman, one of my favorite authors (comic book and book) has recently completed a movie with Dave McKean called Mirrormask. Check out the trailer here:

Check out Gaiman’s work on Sandman, Marvel 1602 (comics), Neverwhere and American Gods (novels). They are really great stories with action, and suspense and weeeeeeiiiirrrrrdddddd.
