Mike Carey, the writer of the comic, touches on all the salient points of the novel and keeps the pacing fast, but the characters loose some of their depth and nuance in the translation. When Richard Mayhew becomes invisible to all his friends and work colleagues, he turns to a parallel world, London Below, full of wacky characters and unspeakable horrors, where he is still trying to help his damzel in distress - a highborn lady of the underworld with a talent for opening doors.Įither because I was too familiar with the subject, or because the graphic art format is too limited to capture all the nuances of Gaiman's writing, I was not as enchanted this time as on the first trip to Neverwhere. This now is the comic book adaptation of the same story of a regular Johnny from London getting in trouble for playing the Good Samaritan and helping a girl in trouble.
I have already reviewed the novel version by Gaiman.
