One of the constant features in fairs and conventions during the after-dinner conversations with friends and colleagues, when you are already unwind with a drink in hand; after long signing sessions and interwiews; is suggesting to make projects together. Then, once the festival is over, everyone returns to their things and the matter is most of the times forgotten.
I met Neil Gaiman in some fairs. And, in one of those dinners, we spoke about the possibility of doing something together some day. Much time went by, I would say that several years; and I forgot about this. One day, I got a message from Neil proposing me a script. It was The Heart of a Star, and it would be the main story of the book Endless Nights of Sandman. Drawing Morpheus and his brothers was a wonderful experience. Once we'd finished, we both were very happy with the result (and so were the editors, as we believe...) And we told we should make something together again. Some years have already gone by. Maybe I am getting another Neil's message one of these days...
