«Make sure you're describing something that can be illustrated. The example of this that I always use is a story David Lloyd told on Alan Moore from the production of V FOR VENDETTA: where Alan asked for a character to be standing with their back to us, smiling ironically. Try drawing that.»
Warren Ellis, "How to write comics".

ПОДРОБНЕЕ О КАЖДОМ КОМИКСЕ
Не забудьте написать в комментах, что вы думаете о "новом формате записей об архивах" версии 2.0.

ПээС. Между прочим, я потратил дофига времени на поиск обзоров к этим комиксам.

9 выпусков Fell.
Википедия:
"Fell is a comic book written by Warren Ellis and illustrated by Ben Templesmith. It is published by Image Comics.
The comic is an experiment by Ellis in order to create a more affordable comic by producing a lower page count than normal. This is balanced by a nine panel grid format for each page, in order to compress the story into the smaller size. Ben Templesmith's artwork creates a hazy outline that accompanies the immoral haze of a decaying noir style city.
Each issue is also a self-contained story, supplemented with behind the scenes shots of unfinished artwork, a text section where the author expands the story's background, provides excerpts from the sсript, and (tentatively) answers reader e-mail.
Story
The story is about Richard Fell, a homicide detective who has been reassigned to the city of Snowtown. Snowtown, whose location is never specified, is a city whose conditions are somewhere between the urban decay of America's worst inner cities and the poverty of a third-world country. Described at one point as a "feral city", its denizens are generally desperate, hostile, or both. Violence is commonplace, and whole chunks of the city are without proper utilities. Conditions are so bad, in fact, that the citizenry have taken to spraypainting giant S's that have been crossed out as a form of protective magic, in the hopes that Snowtown will not harm what has been labelled as its own. As one of "three and a half detectives" in the entirety of Snowtown (one having no legs), Fell is determined to do all he can to better the city in many ways. He takes calls on his time off, he ignores a lack of a warrant for the sake of a little girl and he pushes through efforts to hire more precinct employees. He is noted by his powers of observation and deduction (a salute to Sherlock Holmes) and his ever-present Polaroid camera."
