Warren Ellis is a British writer celebrated for reshaping comics through his genre-defying works like “Transmetropolitan”, “Planetary”, and “The Authority”. Known for his sharp wit, technological prescience, and narrative experimentation, Ellis blends pulp traditions with futurist edge. He’s a master of one-shots and longform arcs alike, delivering biting commentary through layered world-building. While his legacy is complicated by allegations of misconduct, his influence on 21st-century comics remains deeply felt.
