Neil Gaiman

Gaiman (apart from being known to Andrew as the author of an opportunistic Duran Duran biography) has made his name writing graphic novels (or comic strips, if you're being unkind). This is a conventional novel about a man who discovers his father to be a spider-god. A very strange mixture of creation myth and James Bond style adventure. It's supposed to be a comedy but there are only a few good jokes. Not recommended.
