Best-selling author Neil Gaiman, writer of such classics as the Sandman comic series, American Gods, Anansi Boys and Neverwhere, will be visiting Richmond sometime during the fall semester.
In the notes from a Library Advisor Committee Meeting on Nov. 18, 2005, an entry read that Gaiman had accepted the invitation from John Ulmschneider because of his ongoing interest in James Cabell, the writer after whom the library is named.
There has also been more circulated interest in the library after the donation of the archives from the Will Eisner Comic Industry Awards.
Despite the little publicity the event has had thus far, workers at the Special Collections and Archives have made it clear that he is coming, but the dates are still in paperwork.
