A few years back I wrote an literary criticism of "Violent Cases" by Neil Gaiman & Dave McKean called Pay Attention: There May Or May Not Be A Man Behind The Curtain. My essay appears in "The Neil Gaiman Reader", edited by Darrell Schweitzer (Weird Tales magazine ), along with several other essays and a few interviews with Neil.
According to Comic Book Resources' Edward Carey, comics historian Peter Sanderson referred to my essay in his lecture “1986: The Year That Changed Comics" presented at The Museum of Comic and Cartoon Art. You have to read down the article a ways, but there it is: someone using my non-fiction in a lecture. It's a thing that will render you speechless to the point of not being able to mention it. It just doesn't seem real!
Neil Gaiman also said in his blog a few months ago that the essays in "The Neil Gaiman Reader" are
"Essays on things I've written, by a dozen different very smart people."
I'm also a little speechless about that.
