Warren Ellis started his career working on titles such as Judge Dredd and Deadline. He got his first break writing for Marvel with Hellstorm and the Marvel 2099 line. He has written for Marvel, DC, Wildstorm, Image, and others. He is a very well-known artist, starting with Thunderbolts #110 which is a regrouping of the Thunderbolts with all new stories written by Ellis.

The reach of this incredible talent is now extending into other media. Ellis's first novel, Crooked Little Vein, was released on July 24th, 2007 by Harper Collins. He is also the sole writer of a new show on AMC, Dead Channel, to premiere later this year.

Ellis is said to have more trade paperbacks currently in print than any other writer in comics.
