Neil Gaiman Dropped by Dark Horse Comics Following Sexual Assault Allegations
The author denies accusations from multiple women as publishers and studios reassess their collaborations with him.
- Dark Horse Comics announced it will no longer publish Neil Gaiman's works, including canceling the 'Anansi Boys' comic series after its seventh issue.
- The allegations, detailed by eight women in a New York Magazine article, include claims of non-consensual sexual acts and coercion spanning decades.
- Gaiman has denied the allegations, stating he has never engaged in non-consensual sexual activity and expressing regret over past personal failings.
- Major publishers like HarperCollins and W.W. Norton have indicated they have no upcoming projects with Gaiman, while others, including Penguin and Hachette, have not commented.
- Adaptations of Gaiman's works face uncertainty, with Disney pausing 'The Graveyard Book,' Netflix proceeding with 'The Sandman' Season 2, and Prime Video adjusting the final season of 'Good Omens' to a single 90-minute episode.
