Dark Horse Comics has announced that it’s no longer working with author Neil Gaiman, after the writer has become embroiled in a series of increasingly stomach-turning accusations of sexual misconduct. That includes canceling an ongoing adaptation of Gaiman’s 2005 novel Anansi Boys that began running in June 2024, just a few weeks before several women came forward accusing Gaiman of sexual assault and abuse.
