he's the main character in what used to be my favorite comic book, written by Neil Gaiman and illustrated by a bunch of different people, most famous is the cover art by dave mckean who was a pioneer in using photoshop to make art with computers. Reading it was never the same after I went to elan though, i'd heard too much about it "feeding into my image". Anyway if anyone collects the series i've got almost the whole collection, some pretty rare and all first edition, in a collection thats gathering dust who knows where (the box not the comics, they're in baggies).
