Neil Gaiman: Comics, Court Cases, Cults & Conspiracies 

The irony of Gaiman, is his story involving a nymph who is captured in the early 20th century and eventually sold to a writer. The writer exploits the nymph sexually and receives the magical gift of creativity and then goes on to pursue an otherwise mundane career choice. He then becomes a tour de force novelist whose every book is a number one best seller, but he's secretly living a very desperate lie. The fact that he wrote this brilliant storyline shows his hubris....however, just like in the story, his life of lies is finally catching up to him. As a guy who grew up in the 80s and 90s, the more I find out about his actual life vs the image he has cultivated is beyond sickening. Here's a guy that really has talent, but is a twisted and horrible person.....the very thing his stories warn about....yeesh!

Not sure if you've seen but I'd check the latest trending news on Neil Gaiman. Not a surprise sadly....

He always came across like a more pedestrian version of Alan Moore to me in terms of his work. Sandman felt like a rewrite of Swamp Thing in goth clothes

McFarland must be rock hard right now, in light of recent allegations.

Anyone wanna tweet this to Gaiman?

Thank you for the great work you are doing! It takes a sharp, discerning mind and a lot of guts (both in rare supply) to do this.

Superb journalism. Thank you.

Why the minutes of black screen at the end?

Just a heads up that from around 38:17 to the end of the video there is no additional audio or video

Is there a transcript of this Episode available?

I suppose the question I would ask about Spawn was whether or not Gaiman took the paycheck as work-for-hire (plus royalties i imagine). If so, there's no case, if Neil is a man of his word. If it wasn't work-for-hire, and there's no contract, then there's a legitimate beef (Actually, I know one of the four writers and can certainly ask him). The irony is of course duly noted. I was published by Image briefly in the mid 1990s and Jim Valentino was an outstanding fellow. As for the culture around the rest, which I have been aware of since the 1980s, it's reach is long and vengeful, it has always engaged in the financial exploitation of the weak minded, and I wouldn't be surprised if there are deep ties to other programs which it mimics such as the psychological experiments of MKUltra in the 1950s. Deeply disturbing to have any ties to it, especially ones as close as you espouse here. I can't imagine after all the studies I've done in childhood development if there were no subconscious influences.

I certainly won't endorse his works to friends and family anymore.

I was a big fan of Gaiman but he has shown himself to be a total scumbag. I had no idea regarding the scientology stuff though & that had lowered an already low opinion of him even more. He comes across a such a smug git.

Well done.

He was always overhyped. i have a guilty pleasure of liking the first couple sandmen, but anything else i read of his was far too flowery and lacking of any true substance
