Jill Thompson

Trivia

The look of the character Etain of the Second Look, from Brief Lives, and much of the contents of her flat, were based on Thompson herself. Thompson first came to the attention of Sandman creator Neil Gaiman when he was given a sketch of Death she had drawn for him to sign at a convention; he was impressed enough to ask her to illustrate for the series. The look of the character Ragged Robin, from The Invisibles, was also initially based on Thompson.
