On June 16th, 2020, several women came forward to discuss Warren Ellis' emotional abuse. I believe them. Since I didn't want to leave a fan site up without noting the issue, I added my commentary and some links to the front page.
If you've an ounce of perception you'll have noticed that I sprinkle my links heavily throughout the site. This is the all in one menu.
DC Comics/Helix | |
The publisher. We like them. You can find some of Spider's columns here. | |
Warren Ellis | |
His own personal Web page, Smoke Damage. Do not miss this. | |
Darick Robertson | |
He's got a fan page all to himself, and it's a nice one, too. | |
Read Pheasant Throughout | |
Nick Eden's reviews page has a review of issue #5. Favorable, of course. | |
Pupin Grove | |
Another Transmetropolitan fan page! Excitement grows. Not a lot of material, but he does have original reviews. | |
Hunter S. Thompson | |
A big fat whopping influence on Spider, along with... | |
H. L. Mencken | |
Tom Wolfe (he used to be a journalist, not just an indifferent writer!) | |
Bob Woodward (him too!) | |
George Plimpton | |
Nick Broomfield | |
"and a dozen more," says Warren. | |
The Mars Direct Information Page (#3) | |
Norman Spinrad (#5) | |
Transhuman.com (#6) | |
CTHEORY (#7) | |
The Sweeney (#8) | |
Bare-Faced Messiah (a biography of L. Ron Hubbard) and The Transmet Feed (#9) | |
These are the Web sites Warren recommends in the lettercol. | |
Garth Ennis | |
Is the writer most akin to Warren, if anyone is at all. Except Garth has this thing about American culture. It's hard to describe. | |
Grant Morrison | |
Is my other favorite comic writer, so you're stuck with this link, but I'll tap dance quickly and claim that Grant and Warren share a millenial attitude all too rare in comics today and that'll make it all better. | |
Jonah Weiland's Comic Book Resources | |
It's the best site on the Internet for comic book resources, so I threw it in. He doesn't have everything, but he's got a darned good overview. | |
