Signal to Noise

In 1992, Dark Horse published Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's Signal to Noise, a single-issue graphic novel that blends prose and experimental art to explore a film director's final, obsessive project as he faces a terminal diagnosis. Gaiman's lyrical script is inseparable from McKean's haunting, mixed-media illustrations, making the book a landmark in the fusion of literary ambition and visual storytelling. It remains a quiet, essential work that demonstrates the emotional and philosophical depth the comics medium can achieve.
