OriginalNeil Gaiman is an English author of fantasy, horror and science fiction. Over his career, he has written short stories, novels, comic books, graphic novels, films and television episodes, with particularly well-known works including the comic book series The Sandman and novels Stardust, American Gods and Coraline.
Reason
An excellent photograph of one of the most important living English authors- I've no doubt that there are going to be a number of Gaiman's fans among the FPC regulars who will be as excited as me to see this here. (If this counts for anything, Mr. Gaiman specifically contacted Kyle Cassidy, the photographer, because he was unhappy with the previous portrait on his article.)

Comment Though it's interesting that Mr. Gaiman contacted Mr. Cassidy to have a portrait done, what matters for a Wikipedia Featured Photo is the quality and suitability of the photo (which is why I supported this nomination below). — Lentower (talk) 16:21, 4 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
