Yay! He's one of my favourite artists. I seriously affectionate that man, even if he's a wee bit fucked in the head.

Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse
Could I start reading Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse from the 2nd trade or does it have an overarching story I couldn't follow without reading the first trade?CammyKnoxville

I've always enjoyed his art on Fell, and right now I'm really, really enjoying his Welcome To Hoxford series from IDW. Very creepy, yet very cool.

If Warren Ellis stopped writing Fell for some reason and the new writer was absolutely terrible I would continue buying it. I just love the art.

Ben is full of win! Loved his Deadspace stuff. It was a great show too. I follow him on twitter and he's awesome.

Fantastic show, guys. I picked up Wormwood and Welcome to... today because of this show. Thanks a bunch for pointing them out.

Is their more than one trade of Fell? I read the first and it was really great. I had very uncomfortable dreams.
Truthfully I never paid attention to his art before. It was too "far out" for me at the time 30 Days of night came out. But the atmosphere he sets in these stories is creepy as hell. I love it.
