Signal to Noise

by Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean

Dark Horse (96 pages)

Dates read: December 26, 2010, Rating: ***

This is one of very few Gaiman-written graphic novels where the artist (in this case the excellent Dave McKean) totally steals the show. The artwork here is an unusual, disjointed, and haunting accompaniment to Gaiman's meditation on dying. It's a difficult read, and I can't really say I liked it, but I feel a little different for having read it.
