There is a man named Warren Ellis. Warren Ellis plays at being a psychotic drunken lowlife who happens to have a gift for prose. You probably know how this joke ends.

This man writes a great many things. Among them is a free thing, entitled FreakAngels, which will be getting a starring role in the Fictions and Curiosities menu perched to the right of this post. I will not trouble you by linking to everything about FreakAngels that is excellent, but I will say that when it comes to reasons for writing, Warren Ellis has got it in one.

Mr. Ellis is absolutely on the money with that one. I am envious.

More thoughts about Mr. Ellis and his tenuous connections to one Art Spiegelman to follow soon. After the post I claimed at the end of last year would be "next".
