Dave+McKean

After a trip to [|New York] in 1986 during which he failed to find work as a comics artist, McKean met writer [|Neil Gaiman] and the pair collaborated on a short [|graphic novel] of disturbing childhood memories, //[|Violent Cases] //, published in 1987. This was followed in 1988 by a //[|Black Orchid] // miniseries (again with Gaiman) and //[|Hellblazer] // covers for [|DC Comics]. [|[1]][|[2]] Beginning in 1989 he produced the covers for Gaiman's celebrated series //[|The Sandman] //, all its collected editions and many of its spin-offs, and the [|Batman] graphic novel,//[|Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth] //, with writer [|Grant Morrison] (1989). His work during this was often compared to that of[|Bill Sienkiewicz]. In 1995 he wrote and illustrated a book for The Rolling Stones called Voodoo Lounge to tie in with the release of their album of the same name. In 2005, he designed the poster for the 32nd [|Telluride Film Festival]. In 2006, he designed projections, sets and directed film clips for the Broadway musical, //[|Lestat] //, adapted from Anne Rice's novels with music and lyrics by Elton John and Bernie Taupin. His most recent projects are directing an original feature called Luna, and a book with the evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins.
