In Shadow Show, acclaimed writers and come together to pay tribute to the work of the one and only Ray Bradbury! The first story featured is "The Man Who Forgot Ray Bradbury," written by Neil Gaiman with art by Maria Fröhlich, which peers into the mind of a man who sifts through his own memories in an attempt to recover the name of a famous sci-fi author. The next story, "Backward in Seville," brings together the singular talents of Audrey Niffenegger and Eddie Campbell to tell a small tale of a woman's regrets and the new life that awaits her.
