From the "Bad Signal" mailing list:
"Press release issued today by publisher HarperCollins, New York:
Senior Editor Josh Behar has just acquired rights from Lydia Wills of
Writers and Artists to the first novel by best-selling comic book
writer Warren Ellis, who has authored two of DC's hottest franchises;
The Authority and Transmetropolitan. This comic tour of the dark
underbelly of American culture features a down-and-out private
detective who is hired by heroin-addled G-men to find the lost
*secret* Constitution to the United States. Publication is slated for
Winter/Spring 05.
So, yeah. I is a novelist now. Behold, and shit."
Sounds very cool indeed.
