In 2010 and 2011, comic-book creator Warren Ellis sat down over several days to film career-spanning interviews for the documentary film
Warren Ellis: Captured Ghosts
. In these extensive interviews, Ellis discusses his life, his work, and his thoughts. He looks back over how his career has evolved, describes his writing process, explores the themes that fascinate him, and details the role technology has played in his work (and in the development of his famous online persona). Only a small fraction of this material made it into the film. This book is a record of these historic interviews.
