A writer of comics, graphic novels, fiction, films, and plenty in between, Neil talks about how music has influenced him over his long and varied career.

This is part of 6 Music's Paperback Writers: Graphic Content series, focussing on where the worlds of comics and music collide.

Hannah Berry, the UK's current Comics Laureate takes over the reins next Sunday 13th October, and Castlevania creator Warren Ellis completes the line up with an hour of his favourite music on 20th October.
