See you in the Funny Pages: “American Gods”

by Nick Fagan | Mar 26, 2018 | Book Reviews, Club Ink, Comic books, GCPL Comics Month, Graphic Novels

Ok…This post is only half about comics. I really enjoy the work of Neil Gaiman and have been hearing positive reviews of the television adaptation of American Gods. While I don’t have cable, I definitely want to watch the series once it is released on DVD. I...
