Warrior #4 (aka Summer Special 1982)

-

-

A young Warren writes into Warrior's letter column, Dispatches, to give his two cents on the magazine's various features, including Alan Moore's Marvelman (aka Miracleman) and V for Vendetta. Nothing but gushing praise. Several years later, though, Warren will write a review (possibly for Speakeasy?) of Moore's run on Marvelman, lambasting it as "a huge failure". Says Warren now: "I have to confess that not only was I using amphetamines during this period, but I was in a REALLY really bad

mood when I wrote that." Ah, a portrait of the artist as a young man.

Deadline #24

United We Fall

Nigel Dobbyn

Warren's first work in comics. 6 page short that's part Orwell and part "Atmospherics" (1996). You can nonetheless see the foundations of Warren's style setting. Deadline was a pretty fun little comics mag published in the UK in the late 80s/early 90s that, besides Warren, featured early work by Philip Bond, D'Israeli and Shaky Kane.

My Friendly Blurred Days

Edmund Perryman

4 page short. See, it's about this crazy fella sitting on a bench, crunching drugs whilst envisioning a time-travelling future. George Bush and Madonna added to Mt Rushmore, Cleopatra rapes Marc Anthony with a gun... Warren was filled to the brimming with unrefined madness in the early days... A very difficult to track down book.

Akira #38

Candy Flower Napalm

Terry Shoemaker

In the back of the final 2 issues of Epic's translated release of Katsuhiro Otomo's brilliant Akira (an aside: I wrote my senior thesis in college on Otomo's manga), various creators paid tribute to Otomo and the characters in Akira with pin-ups and short stories. Warren's story revolves around Lady Miyako, one of the more prominent characters in the latter half of Akira.

Phil Jiminez

One of Warren's best stories on his Hellblazer run, and yet it never saw the light of day. Penned immediately before the infamous Columbine massacre, the story deals (prophetically enough) with school shootings. Warren approved the suppression of the book for good reason, although it created tension between Warren and the editorial team that never quite dissipated. Scans of the issue are relatively easy to find on the Net these days; if you can't find them, email me and I'd be more than happy to mail you copies.

Warren's first (and to date only) video game work. Warren wrote the scripts for the in-game cinemas and created the characters. In the manual, there are 2 story pages that are possibly written by Warren. The game is part real-time strategy (RTS) and part action, and enjoyable enough. I plan to actually play through the game regardless of its quality in order to watch the various Ellis-penned cinemas. I am ill.
