		The screenplay was written by Neil Gaiman from a scenario by McKean.
		McKean is also an accomplished jazz pianist, and founded the record label Feral Records with saxophonist Ian Ballamy.

		Dave McKean: That did bother, partly because I knew that Bill had been a great influence and I was kind of worried that I wouldn't be able to shake it actually.
		Dave McKean: As I said, it happened during the time I was doing B.O. and started to see the problems and thought I had a few new wringels that might work for this new book.
		Dave McKean: That was one of the things I wanted to get in there, because that was a very important time for me, where I looked back at the last 3 or 4 years, which I had spent working every day and actually coming out with nothing that I was in any way pleased with.

	Dragon*Con Biography: [Dave McKean]
		McKean hones his craft with a style that is at once unique, innovative, refreshingly bizarre and wildly provocative.
		Dave's alluring, mysterious, and eccentric style perfectly evoked Gaiman's childlike sense of wonder, dark sensibilities, and fl humor.
		The U.K. edition published by Escape Books and Titan in 1987 garnered McKean and Gaiman critical applause from such as Alan Moore, Clive Barker, and numerous critics in the British press.

	Dave McKean & Mirror Mask news!!! - @forums
		Hi, 4 days ago I met Dave McKean at the Clermont Ferrand Short Filmfest for which he designed the poster and was a member of the jury at the LABO section.
		As McKean recalls, "Neil did a one-line, back-of-the-envelope-type pitch, which was a fantasy version of the "The Prince and the Pauper." A character in some sort of fantasy realm would swap identities with somebody in the 'real' world, and each one would have to get by in the other's territory.
		McKean is in North London, where he's spending most of his time traviling between the bohemian sprawl of Camden Town--where he's finishing the final edit of "Mirrormask"--and nearby Islington, home of the newly established post-production house that is creating the film's digital characters and environments.

		Dave McKean was a huge influence on me during my years in Art College, along with Bill Sienkiewicz and Kent Williams, they finally gave me proof for my tutors that there was art in the comics industry and a belief that being an illustrator was a good thing.
		This was the first release by McKean and Gaiman and in my mind it is as strong today as it was back then.
		Although according to my local comic shop, Dave McKean himself is making sure the distributors have all his latest work in stock and these cards are amongst them.

	Graphic novel review - Signal to Noise - Neil Gaiman, Dave McKean
		McKean's artwork is stunningly rendered in mixed media, with photo-realistic painting next to fallen leaves and bits of old clocks.
		McKean has an amazing ability to bring more to the party than a simple interpretation of the script, adding a further layer of metaphor to Gaiman's writing.
		However, if you prefer your art to be about realistic people in realistic situations, suffering the highs and lows of the human condition, this is a work of fiction you'll treasure, both for its physical and its metaphysical beauty.

	IGN: An Interview with Dave McKean
		McKEAN: The initial proposition was from Lisa Henson at Hensons.
		McKEAN: Well, yes… the two main things were the budget – which was very low, so it was a bit alarming committing to doing something, especially since it was a film that was going to include a ton of CG and animation.
		McKEAN: Yes, $4 million – so committing to that without ever having done it before… I've never done anything like that before… So that was a bit worrisome.

		British novelist Gaiman (American Gods; Stardust) and his long-time accomplice McKean (collaborators on a number of Gaiman's Sandman graphic novels as well as The Day I Swapped My Dad for 2 Goldfish) spin an electrifyingly creepy tale likely to haunt young readers for many moons.
		The imagery adds layers of psychological complexity (the button eyes of the characters in the other world vs. the heroine's increasing ability to distinguish between what is real and what is not; elements of Coraline's dreams that inform her waking decisions).
		McKean's scratchy, angular drawings, reminiscent of Victorian etchings, add an ominous edge that helps ensure this book will be a real bedtime-buster.

		It wasn't as much fun as everything else has been, partly because we'd worked together very happily for about 17 years, and suddenly we were actually having to collaborate.
		He figured out how he could use his $4 million budget to make a movie, whereas I came from the school from which I have written my Hollywood scripts in the past, which is that realistic stuff is cheap and special-effects-y stuff is expensive.

		And it's a credit to both McKean and Gaiman that their screenplay is a good read on its own, letting eager fans know what to expect when the film finally sees the light of day.
		And in this book, that blueprint is brought to life by Dave McKean's accompanying storyboards, which serve as both utilitarian and atmospheric visual guides, making one wish that Gaiman and McKean collaborated on a full-blown MirrorMask comic book.
		This is a great book, not similar to illustrated graphic novel of McKean or a text book from Gaiman but this book has entire script and storyboards of the film.
