Stephen Rauch is the author of the book "Neil Gaiman's 'The Sandman' and Joseph Campbell: In Search of the Modern Myth," the first book-length criticism of Gaiman's work, and a forthcoming book on Garth Ennis' and Steve Dillon's "Preacher" and the Western in film and fiction. He earnestly believes that the study of popular culture can close the rift between academics and everyone else. Stephen's interests include comics, fantasy, sci-fi, and horror fiction, religion and mythology, psychology, and pop music. He is a regular contributor to PopMatters, an online journal of popular culture. A graduate of Swarthmore College, he was born in South Florida in 1979, but currently resides in Philadelphia.
Good, readable and intelligent...You could probably teach a pretty good SANDMAN class using just that and [Bender's] Sandman Companion. -- Neil Gaiman's online journal (NeilGaiman.com), March 9, 2003
