I always thought it was just a rumour. I just bought _Stardust_ the other day, and the jacket notes mention that Gaiman is currently working on Henson Studios' movie version of _Neverwhere_, so it sounds like a done deal. BTW, while reading _Stardust_ I can't help but picture most of the scenes being done in a Henson-style movie. I'm glad I never saw the graphic novel version, 'cause I can only imagine how grossly inadequate static ink drawings would be to convey the story (and how frustrating it would be for an illustrator to try!). Yes, I do feel like a heretic for saying it, but I really appreciate Gaiman much more in text-only mode. k@ just says NO to 4-color comics ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 06 Feb 1999 20:08:59 GMT From: Amber Raschel Aurora Brown Subject: looking for extra Philly tix Does anyone have any extra tickets for tonight's Philadelphia show?

Oooooh! In that case, I once had a plethora of Fulvous Rats! There are only two still in my care as some have died and others have long-since been adopted by others. At least two of the adoptive parents are folk music lovers, however, as one was named Ani (after yes, you guessed it). And the other is called Mr Cheese! (Okay, I confess that I had some small part in the naming of this creature; her sister was Sam[antha].) But think of it: Fulvous Rats!
