After his impressive work on Marvelman, Gaiman was offered to write the limited series of Black Orchird and also to re-write an old character, The Sandman. Gaiman started writing comic books, continuing the series of Marvelman after its original creator and Gaiman’s friend Alan Moore abandoned it.
Also in late 1980s, Gaiman published Don’t Panic: The Official Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy Companion. However, in 1987, Gaiman waved goodbye to journalism stating, “British newspapers can make up anything they want and publish it as fact”. He continued writing articles and interviews in magazines under pseudonyms. In 1984, Gaiman wrote his first book, a biography of the band Duran Duran. The couple had two more children Holly and Madeleine.
In March 1985, Gaiman married McGrath after the birth of their son Michael in 1983. Following his graduation from high school in 1977, Gaiman became a journalist writing articles for a number of renowned publications such as the Sunday Times, the Observer, Knave and Time Out. Although he wanted to write comic books, Gaiman had little idea how to go about it. He, therefore, decided to fill the gap himself. When Gaiman began to outgrow comic books in his teenage years, he realized the lack of comic books for an older mature audience. Gaiman received early education at various church schools including Fonthill School in East Grinstead, Ardingly College, and Whitgift School in Croydon. Lewis’s The Chronicles of Narnia, Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, Batman and other comics. Some of his favorite childhood books include J. In 1965 the family moved to East Grinstead, West Sussex where Neil grew up with a profound love for reading, beginning as early as age 4. His father, David Bernard Gaiman worked at their family chain of stores while his mother, Sheila Gaiman was a pharmacist. He originated from a family of Eastern European Jewish decent. Neil Richard Gaiman was born on Novemin Portchester, England.
