Dark Horse Comics Ends Relationship with Neil Gaiman Over Sexual Assault Allegations
The publisher cancels Gaiman's 'Anansi Boys' comic series and halts all future collaborations following multiple accusations of misconduct.
- Dark Horse Comics announced it will no longer publish Neil Gaiman's works, citing serious allegations of sexual assault against the author.
- The decision includes the cancellation of the 'Anansi Boys' comic series, which was set to conclude with its eighth issue, and a planned collected volume.
- The allegations, first reported in mid-2024 and expanded upon in a recent New York Magazine article, involve claims from at least nine women, some of whom provided corroborating evidence.
- Gaiman has denied all allegations of non-consensual sexual activity, admitting to personal failings but rejecting descriptions of abusive behavior.
- The fallout has also impacted Gaiman's Hollywood projects, with Prime Video altering plans for 'Good Omens' Season 3 and Disney pausing its adaptation of 'The Graveyard Book.'
