"The Book Job," the sixth episode of the 23rd season of The Simpsons, co-stars Neil Gaiman. Not in a cameo, but as the main storyline.

Embedded in the carpet of the new Gungahlin Public Library in Canberra, Australia.

Another one we'd love to attend.

Author, graphic novelist, and screenwriter Neil Gaiman (Sandman, American Gods, Coraline, The Graveyard Book) has been described by the Dictionary of Literary Biography as "one of the top ten living post-modern writers."  Join Paul Levitz, former publisher of DC Comics and lecturer at Columbia University's Center for American Studies as he talks with Gaiman about his life and his writing.    Presented by the Institute for Israel & Jewish Studies and the Center for American Studies, ColumbiaUniversity.

Celebrated literary figure Neil Gaiman turns 50 years old today, surely the man who did as much to make comics part of the mainstream as anyone who ever lived. He marks the occasion on his blog, of course:

Vulture has one of the chattiest interviews with Neil Gaiman we've read in a while. HE talks about co-editing BEST AMERICAN COMICS and much more:

The CBLDF board is having a meeting today. And Neil Gaiman has been doodling. Not to worry ...the doodles have been donated to the CBLDF to be auctioned off. A productive meeting indeed.

He's been a goth, comics and literary idol for decades...but now Neil Gaiman is turning into am anthro. Wired reports that the best-selling author willguest star on Arthur, the long-running (13 seasons) cartoon about a little aardvark and his world.

Set your TiVo for the Dream King! After years of limbo for a proposed SANDMAN movie, the hugely popular Neil Gaiman fantasy comics series is now in development as a TV series, THR reports.
