also let's be honest I'm like 50% less interested in Things Neil Gaiman Makes if Dave McKean or Chris Riddell or Charles Vess aren't anywhere to be seen like come on man. what can I say. I'm an illustration guy.
#all the Neil Gaiman comics i give a shit about at least tangentially involve Dave McKean
#Sandman. Signal to Noise. Arkham Asylum. That's it.
#other than that also: McKean's Coraline is best Coraline. Mirrormask OBVIOUSLY.
#and where Dave McKean isn't the best fit Chris Riddell usually is
#his Coraline is also ok but not as good as McKean's bc McKean is right for the tone
#however he MAKES the Graveyard Book and Fortunately The Milk
#but like. back to Dave McKean and Sandman
#did he ever do interior art for Sandman? he did not. and yet his artwork is definitionally Sandman
#it and the lettering are the most utter aesthetic throughline
#the interior art is hugely variable. Some of it is gorgeous (always loved the art for the Emperor Norton story and for Ramadan
#and Brief Lives is really nicely and characteristics drawn)
#and some is. not. (The Kindly Ones is fucking unreadable fight me)
#and a lot is good but not to my taste (like. i think The Wake art is meh but that's. personal preference. it's objectively good comic art)
#but like if I see a Dave McKean Sandman cover I'm like ah. sandman.
#(this is why i am so lucky to have a full set of original singles)
#(that means i have every McKean Sandman cover in hand including the ones that aren't in the trades)
#(also have a signed McKean variant cover of Overture
#no 1)
#(i swear I'm not an annoying Comics Guy. I'm a trade paperback person i just love Dave McKean more than almost any other artist alive)
