From an early age Gaiman enjoyed different types of reading (Contemporary 3). One of such types is comic books, which he was enamored with for most of his early life (Contemporary 3). Thus, it is no surprise he has received many awards for his graphic novelist. One of such awards is the Will Eisner Comic Industry Award for best writer of the year, which he won several years in a row (Contemporary 3). Gaiman’s graphic novel awards do not end there he has received many others such as, Eagle Award for best graphic novel (Neil). Gaiman’s diverse reading patters as a child transferred over to his writing. As a result, Gaiman’s received many other honors for his diverse body of work (Contemporary 3). One the most recent honours is the 2009 John Newbery Medal for most outstanding contribution to children's literature. One of his most famous works happens to be the children’s novel Coraline (Contemporary 3). This work without a doubt is one of Gaiman’s most recognized works. Long before the success of the motion picture Gaiman was recognized over and over again for Coraline (Neil). A few of Gaiman’s recognitions for Coraline are Prix Tam Tam Award, British Science Fiction Association Award for best short fiction, Bram Stoker Award, and Elizabeth Burr/Worzalla Award Horror Writers Association to name a few (Neil). He also has collected many lesser known awards like a Locus Award for his short story "How to Talk to Girls at Parties" (Neil). It is without a doubt impressive how recognized Neil Gaiman has been thus far in his career.
