I think we can all agree there’s never been a better time to be a fan of comics and TV, given the sheer number of small screen adaptations featuring our favourite characters and stories on offer.

I’ve been a pretty big fan of Neil Gaiman for over decade now, thanks to his novels, screenplays, and most especially, comic books (off the back of his Sandman work alone, he’s part of my comic book writers Holy Trinity, along with fellow luminaries Alan Moore and Grant Morrison; I dropped the once-great Frank Miller from this hallowed fraternity in the mid-2000s).
I’d been meaning to read Gaiman’s most recent novel, The Ocean at the End of the Lane, ever since it came out in 2013, but as so often happens, I ended up never quite getting around to it. This would change Christmas just gone, however, when I found myself with an Amazon gift card to redeem, and Gaiman’s name still fresh in my mind thanks to BBC Radio 4’s adaptation of his and Terry Prachett’s Good Omens. For fear of delaying yet again, I made sure that the first purchase I made with that gift card was the Kindle edition of The Ocean at the End of the Lane.
