Product Description

Product Description

'Signal to Noise does not entertain. It scratches, it provokes, it frightens. It tells you things you don't want to know but then twists you inside out by saying, look harder and see the poignance, the beauty of light dancing on life's edge, truth that is as simple and direct as death' Jonathan Carroll, from his introduction. Originally commissioned and serialised in The Face, the comic strip Signal to Noise was then expanded and revised for its launch on the VG Graphics list in 1992 with an introduction by Jonathan Caroll. It tells the story of a film director, somewhere in London, dying of cancer. His life's crowning achievement, his greatest film, would have told the story of a European village as the last hour of AD 999 approached - the midnight which the villagers were convinced would bring with it Armageddon. Now that story will never be told. But he still pointlessly works it out in his head, making a film that no one will ever see. No one but the reader.

4.0 out of 5 stars The story of the end of a man's life, obsurely told., 12 Jan 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Signal to Noise (Paperback)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Some of their best work! A must have!, 29 Mar 2001
By A Customer
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!!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best comics writer at its best, a true masterpiece, 7 Jan 2001
By A Customer
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
