I wish, the fellow that draws these is a master, he writes them as well, as far as i know people like McKean,Zulli,Bisley etc need the likes of Moore & Gaiman to give them some worth Supposedly they have telephone dirctory size books of this stuff coming ot out weekly in Japan, so I suspect we only get to see the best Audiobooks-can never get away with 'em myself, probably because i find it easier to read than to listen and be distracted by other things

Thought the Mckean cat thing was written with some one else, unless i'm thinking of the wrong book, havn't got a link have you Bill Sienkiewicz-yup your right, did he write the thing about the Sandinista/olly North as well as illustrating it, buggered if I can remember what it was called

don't suppose the graphic novel would work too well in the audiobook format :) I think you're right, but it cuts both ways. Gaiman and Moore couln't do what they did without someone turning what's in their minds into pretty pictures. (in my mind, there's a picture of Loki putting a toddler onto a fire, but I can't find the image on the web)

I think you mean 'Brought into light' and erm.. IIRC Moore wrote that. I have it somewhere, hang on, yup, it was written by Moore. I actually meant Mckeans 'Cages' its beautiful, I have the original comics of that and keep meaning to track down the graphic novel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cages_%28graphic_novel%29

Moreso though you have to see how much input the writer has on the panel layouts and content. Gaiman has strong visual ideas about how he wants his story illustrated, but he does allow a fair bit of leeway (judging by the scripts of his I've seen from the early sandmans that got sent to the artists). Alan Moore on the other hand has a rep for being incredibly controlling of the artwork. Which is why Bill won't work with him anymore, and why 'numbers' never got done.

NURSE WITH WOUND - Spiral Insana GUAPO - Elixirs GENESIS P-ORRIDGE & STAN BINGO - What's History JOE MEEK & THE BLUE MEN - I Hear A New World** DAVID BOWIE - Diamond Dogs/At The Beeb IGGY POP - The Idiot AUDIENCE - Friend's Friend's Friend SCORN - Deliverance A 'maxi single' apparently, all 50 minutes of it! Good stuff. SPACE - s/t Jimmy Cauty's forgotten bliss out YES - The Yes Album/Fragile They sounded good before that 'Topographic' shite and beyond! **Also been consuming the DVD of the film "Telstar". I'd wanted to see this on a big screen somewhere when it came out, but never got around to it (more like totally forgot about it) I think it's up there with the best 'music films' out there and Con O'Neill is fantastic in his portrayal of Meek. All round the acting is great. It seems as though the production team really did their homework and the research they conducted put them in touch with folk who were close to the whole story. Not much about the "I Hear A New World" material in there, as it's more about his personal life and demons etc., but you do get the feel of Meek's obssession with sound. Also, I'd been fascinated as a kid by The Honeycombs' "Have I The Right" 45 with that stompin' chorus, so to see a film sequence with people recording the backing track to said stompin' chorus, really was marvellous. I'm sure many folk have seen this film already, but for those who haven't, then it's very recommended Get the DVD now!
