Yay! I'm so glad you are doing this too! I've read only one of the Sin City Graphic Novels but I really liked it!
I have a goal to read ONE graphic novel in 2009. (sad? I'm easing into it...)
Excellent list! I'll be looking forward to what you have to say about Gaiman's books. I'll probably end up reading them all at some point as well. I'm falling in love with him!
Shoot me your email at gimmemorebooks10 at gmail dot com and I'll add you to the blog so you can post there as well. :)
I was thinking....someone should totally host a Neil Gaiman challenge. :) I would definitely sign up for that!
Alea - You've read one more than me, then. I really like Miller's other work, and have been meaning to read Sin City for a while now, so this challenge is a good excuse.
Care - Baby steps are a good thing. You might want to look into comic book adaptations if you're feeling really apprehensive - I've seen some pretty interesting Manga Shakespeare books.
Laza - I can't believe it's taken me this long to read The Sandman series! I love Gaiman and have read pretty much everything else he's done. I think a Neil Gaiman challenge would be pretty awesome! :)
now i get it... u r a HUGE fan of Neil Gaiman :) :)
