Neil Gaiman's Troll Bridge

Neil Gaiman and Colleen Doran, the team behind the acclaimed adaptation of The Sandman: The Dream Hunters, reunited at Dark Horse in 2016 for this single-issue graphic novella. It adapts Gaiman's own short story about a young boy who makes a fateful bargain with a troll under a bridge, a promise that comes due decades later. Doran's lush, detailed artwork brings a fairy-tale menace to Gaiman's characteristically dark and poignant meditation on childhood bargains and the cost of growing up. A standalone gem that distills the author's mythic sensibility into a compact, resonant fable.
