Yeah...I said just last week that his cranky spider jerusalem persona was just a facade.
From bad signal:
He really loves super heros. It's super heroics in trying to save the direct market.FELL 1 has now sold more than any
original creator-owned book I've
done since, I think, MINISTRY OF
SPACE. So, if nothing else, it's nice
to know I haven't totally lost it yet.
One shop owner wrote in yesterday
to tell me that FELL is bringing into
his store women that he's never
seen before, looking for episodes.
Which means that, at least in one
place, it's doing one of the jobs it
was intended for -- pushing a few
people back into comics shops. This
gives me hope for the novellas I
want to do next year --
self-contained works with a spine
for under ten dollars that won't be
available to bookstores for years.
Which sounds silly to some of you,
I know, but I already have a lot of
books available in bookstores, and
it won't kill me to design something
specifically for the direct market,
that hopefully pulls more people
over retailers' thresholds and
repays those retailers who've
supported me over the years with
new customers.
I keeop meaning to sign back up for Bad signal but never do.
Warren's career is fairly close to what I want. Tons of creator owned work, experimental things on the internal and external side, and some WFH.
I'd probably do more superheroes than him though.
He doesnt even read super hero comics anymore.
I never figured him for a cranky bastard. I always assumed he was five smaller, robotic cranky bastards that fused together.
He once threatened to cut my nuts off for referring to a vagina has a "hoo-ha".
TO BILL BRASKY
uhmm i mean WARREN ELLIS
he once split a table in half using the speed and ferocity of his growing erection
He wrote the book of Mormon as a fan fiction!
He is also NOT the Ham Sasquatch (just to squelch that rumor)
