Ask Warren Ellis

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the disable-the-bowel-disrupters dept.

Warren Ellis has agreed to be our next victim for a Slashdot Interview. Probably best known as the creator of the awesome comic Transmetropolitan. If there is a required reading list for Slashdot, Transmet has to be at the top. His recently released Mek series was the first comic I've ever read to actually mention the EFF. His Global Frequency book makes for great reading as well- #7 is out next week. Warren's work contains great dialog, observations on humanity, and is quite frankly just great SciFi. Besides comics, you can read his blog at Die Puny Humans and his weekly graphic novel evangelism column BRAINPOWERED. Standard Slashdot Interview Rules apply: Post questions here. We'll select from the highly moderated ones, and Warren will answer in a few days.

    There is no "American Comics Approval Code" legislation and there never was. The Comics Code Authority was an institution created voluntarily by the comics industry in response to the Senate hearings occasioned by Frederic Wertham's "Seduction of the Innocent." It was loathesome and cowardly self-censorship, but it wasn't a law.

    check out http://www.gonzo.org/hst/transmetropolitan.html

    there is a recent pic of HST out there where he has a toy spider pinned to his hat. One of the frames in an issue (I believe it was 9 or 10 or 11) was a dead ringer for the portrait of HST on the old cover of The Great Shark Hunt
