This new year’s message from Mr. Neil Gaiman illustrated by the incredible Jill Thompson:
“It’s a New Year and with it comes a fresh opportunity to shape our world.
So this is my wish, a wish for me as much as it is a wish for you: in the world to come,
let us be brave – let us walk into the dark without fear, and step into the unknown with smiles on our faces, even if we’re faking them.
And whatever happens to us, whatever we make, whatever we learn, let us take joy in it.
We can find joy in the world if it’s joy we’re looking for,
we can take joy in the act of creation.
So that is my wish for you, and for me.
Bravery and joy.”
-Neil Gaiman

“I’ve been influenced by the art of Mike Mignola since
his fanzine days. To say that I constantly learn something about the
importance of design and the impact of good storytelling each time I
read one of his comics would be an understatement. I love everything
about what Mike creates. It’s like he’s creating comics just for me but I’m happy to share with everyone else!” — Jill Thompson
