While I have not had the chance to read the original story I now know that I must because this was a great story and is just way too short. I want so much more. More amazing art, characters and storytelling from two masters of the art. I really don't think that I have anything bad to say about this other than it was way too short. ilu eh

I enjoyed this more than the novel, but I wonder if I would enjoy the novel more now I’ve had the visuals of this. Great art work.

It was ok. If you loved the novel, then you will probably want to read this.

have you read the original book? - no? do it ASAP if you are a fan of fantasy-meets-reality- yes? then read the graphic novel as wellIn short, "Neverwhere" started as a mini-radio series in the english radio, it went on as a mini tv-series, it became a book, then a graphic novel, then again it was transfered on the radio. It takes place in the deep sewages of London, that are inhabited by outcasts and various magical beings. An accountant - Richard - finds himslef there by mistake, but finally h...

I've read it two or three times and I actually want to again. One of my favorite books of all time, the story is incredible and captivating. I couldn't recommend it more

-illustration I could have did without. The illustrations of Marquis as a blackface (a gollywog) it was so racist. Book Returned. I need to wash these God awful pic(s) from my brain.

This is a great alternate view of the novel, but CANNOT be fully appreciated and understood without reading the book first. Just as like when a movie is adapted from a book, visuals have their pros and cons. Probably the biggest con of the graphic novel was that the characters looked nothing like I imagined them when reading the novel. I got over this after about 4 chapters, but it prevented me from fully connecting with the characters. Although I think I liked the novel better, nothing can repl...

Abandoned for later.

Love the concept of a world within out world or is our world within another? Not a bad read, but this graphic novel version felt a little like something was left out, which most likely was the case sense it was adopted from a prose novel.

I enjoyed seeing this depicted graphically. I thought it was an excellent story. Neil wrote this to highlight homelessness I remember he said. It is a topsy turvy world where there is more going on beneath the real world than we know. The magic is under the sewers. It was interesting to see the pictures represented. What I like about graphic novelizations of actual novels is that you can read them so much more quickly and remember the story well. They did a good job with everything in this story...

[7/10]I have already reviewed the novel version by Gaiman. my review hereThis now is the comic book adaptation of the same story of a regular Johnny from London getting in trouble for playing the Good Samaritan and helping a girl in trouble. When Richard Mayhew becomes invisible to all his friends and work colleagues, he turns to a parallel world, London Below, full of wacky characters and unspeakable horrors, where he is still trying to help his damzel in distress - a highborn lady of the under...

Ahhhhhhhhhh...This graphic novel adaptation of the wonderful world of London Below is beautifully captured. Yes, Carey has made quite a few changes along the way but he outlines these in the introduction and Gaiman was consulted on these so it does have the author's seal of approval. I wouldn't go as far as to say the illustrations are pretty but they are magnificently drawn - especially the Marquis de Carabas, Door, Hunter (who was exactly how I imagined her) and Islington, and perfectly captur...

I love Gaiman's book Neverwhere and I've enjoyed Mike Carey's books so I thought this would be a slam dunk of a graphic novel. Unfortunately, the art really ruins the book. The biggest problem for me is that the Marquis of Carabas looks like someone in black face. No really. His skin is flat black, with full red lips and stark white eyes. At first I thought this was a coloring error but nope. He just looks like a old fashioned dandy wearing black face. The TV version the Marquis played by a blac...

Man, it is easy to forget what an amazing artist Glenn Fabry is....his work in this adaptation ranks as some of the finest sequential art I've ever laid eyes on.

A decent enough adaptation, but very bare bones. Is missing some of my favorite little lines and bits, and lacks Gaiman's prose and descriptions, which really adds a lot.I also thought the interpretation of a lot of the characters was, well, odd and didn't suit the descriptions from the book very well and I didn't like some of the changes that were made.If you just want a general outline of the plot and characters then this is ok - but if you really want to experience the story then you should r...

Even though there were some scenes from the book that I wished were in it, there were also a lot of new scenes that weren't in the book, that I really liked.Above all, great adaptation of an amazing book.

Colourful, dense, character heavy, very nice artwork. I haven't read the novel yet, but listened to the BBC audio dramatization. I liked it, but it didn't really grab my attention. I am not sure if that was just me, because I knew the plot, or if it truly lacked suspense.

I don't know Neil, but I'm pretty sure that when he refers to the Marquis of Carabas in the text of Neverwhere as being "very dark", he was probably being subtle in referring to the skin colour of Paterson Joseph, the actor who originally played the Marquis...not indicating that the Marquis is a sinister blackface minstrel.That's about all I have to say regarding this. Apart from that, pretty much everything else in it is so mediocre as to be a waste of paper. When you can't even just *copy* som...

Awful, awful artistic interpretations of the characters from the television mini-series. AWFUL. Especially the decision to make the Marquis a Gollywog (look it up, Americans), which i found profoundly offensive and unnecessary. I was excited when I heard about this project, because I adored the mini-series (which was a collaboration between comedian Lenny Henry and Neil Gaiman) and really liked Neil Gaiman's novelization of the show. This graphic novel interpretation is just terrible however, an...

A pretty good adaptation except for the truly baffling character designs for Door and the Marquis. Especially the latter, who was originally pretty clearly described to be a Black man, that is somehow a blackface caricature in this one?? What's even more baffling is that (view spoiler)[when he dies, (hide spoiler)] the pitch black colour goes away in patches, and his skin underneath looks exactly as it should, only for the pitch black "cover" to return as he recovers. That implies that it's some...
