The story of a film director who is dying of cancer. His greatest film would have told the story of a European village as the last hour of 999 AD approached. The villagers feel Armageddon is imminent. The director works it all out in his head, a film never to be seen. By no-one but the reader.

Format:Paperback
Another collaboration with Gaiman and McKean, showing that they are in a league of their own when it comes to creating powerful tales, in a manner that noone else can reach. The story is focused on a film director that decides to write his last film. Focussing on the fears of turning to a new millenium and his fear of dying, he adapts it as only a writer can to how the people of the last millenium must have felt. The illustrations are some of McKeans best. For any McKean Lover,its a must have!!

This graphic novel by Neil Gaiman doesn't have the poetic sensebility of his Sandman novels, it is more the bleak, graphic realism of Violent Cases, and Punch. It tells the story of the very end of a man's life, and the distractions of his last hours.

Neil Gaiman is on the best comics'autho & this is on of his best work. The story is about a film director dying of Cancer somewhere in London. Through this, Gaiman is treating about the only essential reflection of mankind: the meaning of Death.
With the beutiful illustrations of Dave McKean, "Signal to noise" is a huge masterpiece. Everybody should read this before dying
