I liked the Sandman.. I think Neil Gaiman should write more graphic novels, they were engaging and fun to read.

He has done a few more - check out:

Black Orchid
Books of Magic

Did he write Arkham Asylum, or was that just Dave McKean at work there?

There's the recent Marvel 1602 (check out the thread) and Harlequin Valentine.

And most recently (I don't know if these count as graphic novels), there's been Mirrormask, Wolves In The Walls and The Day I Swapped My Dad For Two Goldfish.

There's also a graphic novel version of Stardust, which is really lovely.

If you search Amazon.com you'll find a listing to Pre-order Neverwhere. Looks like they're turning it into a graphic novel. I enjoyed the story, so I pre-ordered the graphic novel.

Recently was given Creatures of the Night. It contains two stories by Neil Gaiman with illustrations by Michael Zulli. The two stories are The Price and The Daughter of Owls. The stories first appeared in Smoke & Mirrors.

There's alsp the graphic entitled The Last Temptation which he did in cooperation with Alice Cooper. Michael Zulli illustrated this one too and it's all done in black & white. Wonderfully creepy.

It's not a graphic novel per se, more of an illustrated tale, but a while back Neil Gaiman wrote a book called the Dream Hunters with Japanese artist Yoshitaka Amano. It's basically a reworking of a Japanese legend/fairy tale, but with Gaiman's prose and Amano's artwork, it's a beautiful book.

Dream Hunters is absolutely beautiful. The artwork is surreal and dreamlike and the tale is well told, leaving the reader to make up her own mind at the end about what may have happened. You see Dream here as you've not seen him before and yet it fits perfectly.

So far all I've been able to get my hands on is a Harlequin Valentine which was weird, and A Game of You which was weird but I liked in, in a surreal kind of way. I didn't expect to enjoy reading them at all so I was pleasantly surprised.
