A dwarf pays a man to lead him to a cave in the mountains. This cave supposedly contains all the gold you want, for a price. While not exactly a graphic novel, it's filled with illustrations that help punctuate certain parts of the story. The illustrations are not my preferred style of artwork, though they fit well with the words, and are well done. 
 Neil Gaiman is a wonderful, inspired and creative storyteller. He uses the right amount of words, and knows how to put them together to convey a mood, set a world, and define a character. This felt like a dark fairytale for adults, and I liked it.
