(urth) Sorcerer's House Comment

[Craig Brewer]

I tend to agree. He always seems best when he's doing something oblique, like collaborating or writing for varied formats. I don't think that's a bad thing because parts of Sandman stand up with the best sf writing. But he's always described himself more as a storyteller in something of an old fashioned sense rather tha "a writer," and I think that's apt.

I also think of him as a channeler of other things to broader audiences. That's not only because he always promos people I like, but even stuff like Sandman brought some "literary" stuff to comics, and it brought non-comics readers to graphic novels, etc. He makes people who don't like genre stuff...like genre stuff, and that's a good thing. He also just seems to me like a guy who "gets it" in all the right ways, both in terms of knowing what's good (anything he edits is worth the price) and in knowing what he does best for the most part.
