Warren Ellis in 2000: The Authority, Planetary and Transmetropolitan

Tuesday, August 31st, 2010 – running time 28:17

Warren Ellis has been a constant A-List writer since breaking into comics, but as we look back at his career, the year 2000 appears to have been the height of his creative output with his runs on The Authority, Planetary and Transmetropolitan.

The Authority

Spinning off StormWatch, The Authority was Warren Ellis take on a proactive super hero team set in the Wildstorm Universe. Teaming up with artist Bryan Hitch, The Authority set the tone for the trend of "widescreen comics" which has been popular for most of this decade.

Planetary

Also at Wildstorm, Planetary is 27 issue long mystery that took nearly 10 years to complete. This time with artist John Cassaday, Ellis serves up a commentary on comics and genres over the past century. Recently repackaged and released in Absolute edition, Planetary was a long overdue read for iFanboy.

Transmetropolitan

Meanwhile, over at Vertigo, Ellis worked with artist Darick Robertson on the opus of his career, Transmetropolitan, which tells the tale of gonzo journalist in the future, Spider Jerusalem. This near future science fiction tale pushes the boundaries or journalism and truth and is Josh's favorite.
