When I was sixteen, my mother was horrified by my Sandman comics; she couldn’t understand why I read such gory stuff, or even why I read comic books at all. Now she asks me if I recommend the Coraline movie and what I think of Neil Gaiman, the Newberry medalist. Watchmen was a secret, thrilling thing passed around the college coffeehouse; now it’s the biggest movie in the country and one of the greatest novels of the last century, according to Time. And manga. Don’t get me started on manga. In the manga business, we knew we were winning when we no longer bothered to keep score.
