Editing Warren Ellis (section)

===Early career===
Ellis's writing career started in the British roleplaying magazine 'Adventurer' for which he wrote the 1920s ''[[Cthulhu Mythos|Cthulhu mythos]]'' strip 'Whiplash' throughout 1986. This was followed by a six-page short story published in 1990 in independent magazine ''[[Deadline magazine|Deadline]]''. Other early works include a [[Judge Dredd]] short and a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' one-pager. His first ongoing work, ''[[Lazarus Churchyard]]'' with [[D'Israeli (cartoonist)|D'Israeli]], appeared in ''[[Blast! (comics)|Blast!]]'', a short-lived British magazine.

By 1994, Ellis had begun working for [[Marvel Comics]], where he took over the series ''[[Hellstorm: Prince of Lies]]'' with issue number 12, which he wrote until its cancellation after issue number 21. He also wrote for the [[Marvel 2099]] [[imprint (trade name)|imprint]], most notably in a storyline in which a futuristic [[Doctor Doom]] took over the United States. Other notable early Marvel work is a run on ''[[Excalibur (comics)|Excalibur]]'', a [[superhero]] series set in Britain. He also wrote a four-issue arc of ''[[Thor (Marvel Comics)|Thor]]'' called "Worldengine", in which he dramatically revamped both the character and book (though the changes lasted only as long as Ellis's run), and wrote'' [[Wolverine (comic book)|Wolverine]]'' with artist [[Leinil Francis Yu]].
