And there is this cover, it's not a connection but a reverence.
(Look at the motel name)  --------------------------------- The king is dead, long live the king. If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story. To influence a person is to give him one's own soul. He does not think his natural thoughts, or burn with his natural passions. His virtues are not real to him. His sins, if there are such things as sins, are borrowed. He becomes an echo of some one else's music, an actor of a part that has not been written for him. The aim of life is self-development. To realize one's nature perfectly that is what each of us is here for. ---------------------------------- |

So is the individual 4 (I think) part mini series the same as the graphic novel? 'cause I thought the mini wasn't the same as the novel, yet I think someone just said that the graphic novel is the same as the novel? Or did I just screw that up in my head when I read it?

Stardust first came out as a 4 part "comic" which was collected into the graphic novel. The "comic" was heavily illustrated text - art by Charles Vess. The novel is the text without the pictures, I believe changed slightly to add description previously not needed when there were pictures (i.e. a two page Charles Vess spread of what a fairy market looks like).
One of these days I'll have to sit down and compare chapter by chapter all the different editions of all of Neil's stories, but ye GODS, who has the time for a project like that?! |

Not I, s'why I asked
 Thanks for the info, GMZoe.I have the comic books, and read the first one and never finished only because it hit me at a wrong time. I really need to sit down and read it. I don't have the book, but then who needs the book when you have the purdy comics (except to do an assignment like that) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I live for three things: The Girls, football, and live jazz.

I've had that edition for over three years nad hadn't noticed that.... Man. I'm blind. ------------------------------ You are a Leprechaun. I'm not even sure what you are. Whiskey-soaked reports from your baffling Isle of Ire raise more questions than they answer. Are you a dwarf? Where's your pickax? If you're an elf, why don't you cobble? You'd think with all your gold, you could invest in some land, perhaps a title, and improve your station. Instead, you hide it in meteorologically-determined locations. You're getting killed on inflation, little friend! |

Aah! You bring back terrible memories by refering to that song. No! No!
Anyway, they are both set in the "real" world, with fantastical aspects. They use real places, but with magical things involved. ¿mouse? |

I never thought about it before, that the world of Stardust and the world of American Gods could be the same one. but reading everyone's posts made me think that the world beyond Wall was sort of "back stage".
I wonder if Coraline's world is lurking around, too. I would have thought the end of the world is everyone's responsibility, wouldn't you? ~Death in Thief of Time Minister of Kraftwerk in the Realm of U & P, Order of the Pineapple with frond for advancement in Nap studies. |

The 'Backstage' aspect isn't the only connection. (Long time since I read both) but aren't both backstage crews packing up the hemp house and leaving? Their time has come and gone and now they will only live in stories.

having recently re-read American Gods and now re-reading Stardust...
Wednesday said the sacrifices used to be every year, then it was every nine years. The fair in the meadow beyond the Wall is held every nine years, but it used to be held ever year at midsummer.
