'''''Neil Gaiman's Midnight Days''''' is a [[1999 in comics|1999]] compilation of new and previously released comics stories written by British author [[Neil Gaiman]], and published by the [[Vertigo Comics|Vertigo]] imprint of American company [[DC Comics]].

==Background==
Due to Gaiman's increased popularity resulting from his series ''[[The Sandman (comic book)|The Sandman]]'', DC chose to collect some of his earliest and hardest-to-find work in a single volume. Included is his previously unpublished "tryout" story for DC editor [[Karen Berger]]. The story, "Jack in the Green", was illustrated by [[Stephen R. Bissette]] and [[John Totleben]], colored by [[Tatjana Wood]], and lettered by [[John Costanza]], the same team that collaborated on much of [[Alan Moore]]'s run on ''[[Swamp Thing]]''.

Other stories in the collection include:
* "Hold Me", a [[John Constantine]] tale with art by frequent Gaiman collaborator [[Dave McKean]], originally published as ''[[Hellblazer]]'' #27
* "Brothers", a [[Swamp Thing]] story in which, however, this character does not appear (the protagonist being [[Brother Power the Geek]]), with art by [[Richard Piers Rayner]], Mike Hoffman, and Kim DeMulder, originally published as ''Swamp Thing Annual'' #5
* "Shaggy God Stories", a post-''[[Millennium (comics)|Millennium]]'' [[Floronic Man]] story with art by [[Mike Mignola]], also from ''Swamp Thing Annual'' #5
* "Sandman Midnight Theatre", the one and only meeting between the [[Sandman (Wesley Dodds)|Golden Age Sandman]] and the [[Dream (comics)|Sandman]] of the [[The Endless (comics)|Endless]], originally published as the ''[[Sandman Midnight Theatre]]'' [[one-shot (comics)|one-shot]], co-written by [[Matt Wagner]] (plot) and [[Neil Gaiman]] (plot/script), with painted art by [[Teddy Kristiansen]]

The expanded "Deluxe Edition" published in 2012 also includes the framing sequence from ''[[House of Mystery|Welcome Back to the House of Mystery]]'' #1, illustrated by [[Sergio Aragones]].
