Warren Ellis Inks Two-Book Deal with Mulholland Books

By Jason Boog 

Warren Ellis has landed a two-book deal with Mulholland Books. The first book, Gun Machine, will be published in 2012.

Ellis is the graphic novelist behind Fell, Planetary, and Transmetropolitan and the author of Crooked Little Vein.

Here’s more from Ellis: “In GUN MACHINE, I’m writing about a disruptive event: a small sealed Manhattan apartment filled with hundreds of guns, each one used in a single unsolved homicide.  But what I’m talking about is money, the acquisition of power, the deals we make in the name of security, the unique soul-killing exhaustion that comes of caring too much for too long, and the faces madness take in our lives … I just have to trust that the good people at Mulholland Books will catch me when I get confused and give my New York City police detective rocket pants and a ray gun.” (Via Sarah Weinman)
