This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

Gaiman is, IMO, a superior comics author. Those are not so easy to come by. 
Of course comics are seen as a lesser art compared to proper Literature. 
Gaiman of course doesn't claim to be on the same league, even in his 
non-comics stuff. Nonetheless, I think more people know Gaiman than Wolfe. 
And I don't think any one's praise for the other is inappropriate or insincere.
