Origins

The Neil Gaiman visual style is characterized by a dark and whimsical aesthetic with a touch of gothic elements. It gained popularity in the late 20th and early 21st century through Neil Gaiman's works in the fantasy and horror genres, notably his critically acclaimed graphic novel series 'The Sandman' which started in 1989. Gaiman's unique storytelling and imaginative world-building has made this style famous for its fusion of fantasy, mythology, and contemporary themes.
