The first, the novel illustrated by the wonderful drawings of Charles Vess, which support and enrich the texts of Neil Gaiman the second, a re-edition of Neil Gaiman’s fairy tale complete with appendices and additional stories that shed new light on this fairy tale. In its new editions recently proposed in comic shops and bookstores, the famous fantasy novel by the British author finds its way back to the hearts of readers, thanks to the versions Sandwiches Comics And Mondadori, with two different proposals. “…a splendid piece of tale-spinning and a genuinely moving, eloquent account of a journey beyond the everyday.Stardustfrom Neil Gaiman is much more than a love story: it is an enchanting magical and timeless fairy tale. “The story alone is wonderful, but enhanced by the gorgeous artwork on nearly every page (175 color paintings in total), this book becomes a treasure.” -SF Site “Vess’ generously detailed paintings perfectly capture the beauty, oddness and terror of Fairie.” -San Francisco Chronicle Half a crusading epic, half based in Tolkien-esque mythology, Neil Gaiman’s award-winning graphic novel fantasy is now back in a brand-new edition! It’s a wonderful book for all ages.
When this edition was announced, Charles saw his chance to return to the story to illustrate specific scenes not in the earlier edition, and he includes those here, all full page works and they are lovely. The bonus pages include the original proposal written by Gaiman and with a drawing by Vess page upon page of special studies and extra color illustrations. Bonus: 38 pages including six all-new works by Vess, and an image from a proposed sequel!
To gain the hand of his beloved, Tristran rashly vows to fetch the fallen star and embarks upon a lover’s quest that will carry him over the ancient wall and into a world beyond his wildest imaginings…a world of witches and demons, of a star-become-human, of true love. It is here in Wall that young Tristran Thorn loses his heart to the town beauty–a woman as cold and distant as the star she and Tristran see fall from the sky on a crisp October evening.
