>1- What's the exact name in the US? Do you use "comics" or "comic" or ...?

"Sandman is a comic by Neil Gaiman" would (I think) be a correct phrasing.
(Actually, I guess the term is 'graphic novel' since it's now available as
a bunch of bound books, but whatever.)

>3- Which comics for UA?

Hellblazer, like you mentioned earlier in your post.  Mage: The Hero
Discovered and Mage: The Hero Defined.  I'd argue against the _Books of
Magic_ series-- what I read seemed a little too light.  (The series by John
Ney Rieber that spun off the Gaiman miniseries, that is-- the Gaiman rocks,
and has all sorts of application.  Plus an intro by Roger Zelazny.)  As a
recovering goth-boy I feel obligated to speak up for J. O'barr's _The Crow_.

That's all I can come up with off the top of my head, but I haven't really
gotten way into the comic scene.

The cards were cold to the touch, so I put them in a toaster oven for a
bit, and then they seemed okay.
