Excellent post from Gaiman on the reason he's so supportive of anti-censorship movements. He's long supported the CBLDF and often speaks of the need to be ever vigilant on these matters. But a recent letter asking how it's possible to defend Lolicon especially in Manga triggered a long essay on the subject. Towards the end is a great quote, that sums up everything the post is saying: Because...
Over the past twenty years, Neil Gaiman has developed into the premier fantasist of his generation, achieving that rarest of combinations - unrivaled critical respect and extraordinary commercial success. From the landmark comic book series The Sandman to novels such as American Gods, from children’s literature like Coraline to screenplays for such films as Beowulf, [...]
Neil Gaiman's Journal: Why defend freedom of icky speech? This is in response to a reader asking why we *shouldn't* let people censor lolicon hentai (japanese comics eroticizing prepubescent girls, that is) . . . The Law is a blunt instrument. It's not a scalpel. It's a club. If there is something you consider indefensible, and there is something you consider defensible, and the same laws can...
In roughly just two decades, author Neil Gaiman has carved out a remarkable body of work, among several media, worthy of serious study. You’ll get just that in PRINCE OF STORIES: THE MANY WORLDS OF NEIL GAIMAN, a hefty hardback companion to the comic book writer/novelist/screenwriter/jack of all trades, compiled by Hank Wagner, Christopher Golden [...]
Neil Gaiman already has a cultlike literary following based on his Sandman and other books and graphic novels. But he's also poised to take over the world of entertainment: His film successes include the computer-animated Beowulf, written with Roger Avary and directed by Gaiman's pal Robert Zemeckis, and his comics and books keep coming. So where's Neil when you need him, and why's he...
In response to a reader who asked him why he was sticking up for a manga collector whose comics included depictions of underage sex, Neil Gaiman responds with a reasoned, intelligent, and convincing article about the problems of legal limits on speech. First they came for the manga — what’s next? So when Mike Diana was [...]

All over the web, boxes have been surfacing, each containing artifacts from the upcoming stop-motion 3D animated feature, Coraline, based on the book by Neil Gaiman. If you've been reading my blog for a while, you'll know that I adore the man and his work. And his voice. And all that. I'll stop now. Sorry. Anyway, when I started seeing Coraline boxes appearing on blogs of all sorts, I dreamed...
Neil Gaiman has a long, and cogent discussion in his blog today about the Christopher Handley case . I generally agree with what Gaiman has written. I think popular speech doesn't need defending. It's the edgy, unpopular, icky stuff that needs defending because that's what people will attack. And although Copyfight is not a free speech blog I do passionately believe that much great art...
Hello there! This week is just sailing by, isn't it? Last night I read Neil Gaiman's Coraline until I couldn't keep my eyes open anymore, and, wow, that story is a lot creepier than I expected. A friend of mine...
