The "pagaíños" ('little pagans') live in Northern mountains. They are small, unkempt, long-haired beings that dwell underground. They do not like to interact with humans, although they can be seen dancing (with great dexterity) on top of certain rocks.

For fear of little men.'

The 8 page promo for Neil Gaiman & Charles Vess’s Stardust (DC/Vertigo).It started as a series of 4 ‘prestige’ format 48 page booklets. Then collected together. After which book publishers published it without the pictures! Crazy. In my mind Vess is the modern Arthur Rackham.
