I started with Adams, and I still like him, just think he's not much for prose - whereas other comic writers are. That said, many sci-fi writers I like weren't much either, e.g. Asimov is very crude, it's all about the plot and ideas.

I think Gaiman is the best of the three in that aspect.

Pratchett is somewhere between Adamd and Gaiman in that respect imho. Though I could never like any of his work...
