In the intro to "Monarch of the Glen" in the audiobook I heard it in (Legends something or other, I forget), Gaiman says that he thought of American Gods as a setting that he could explore many other characters with, and he hadn't planned on revisiting Shadow until he was approached to write the story for Legends whatchamacallit.
"Monarch" left me confused, I have to say. But that may be from listening to it rather than reading it, it's a more difficult medium for me to pay attention to.
"Monarch of the Glen"
Wait, isn't that a TV show? Confused.
Maybe it's both? Or maybe I got the title wrong, but I thought that was it. Also a painting of a stag, I think, so maybe bothe the short story and TV show are named for the painting?
Yes, I believe that the painting has been famous longer than either of those things.
Fragile consisted entire or almost entirely of things that had already been published elsewhere. He even turned his one-off comic "Harlequin" into a short story. [I did not much care for it in either version.]"Sunbird", an homage to R.A. Lafferty gets Lafferty's voice down almost perfectly. [Close enough for me to say he should have cut out the last sentence, but great none-the-less.]
He even turned his one-off comic "Harlequin" into a short story.
If you mean "Harlequin Valentine", it was a short story before it was a comic.
OK - too me-centric there. I saw it first as a comic, assumed that was how it started out.
Speaking of Gaiman, in the Eternals, who is Druigo?
Oh, that's awesome. Tell him to come by so we can shower him with virtual drinks!
