Warren has put an interesting article up on his site about how he is writing his current Horror comic Gravel. He says of the style:

I work in a style called “scriptment.” It’s partway between a full script and a “treatment,” or detailed synopsis. It’s not quite a short story, not a Marvel-style outline, neither fish nor fowl nor arse eel. This thing then goes to Mike Wolfer, who adapts it into a full script. Some people have asked how much of GRAVEL is me and how much is Mike.

I found this quite interesting, because I am currently writing a story, which I am not sure whether I want to be a comic or a prose short story, and this is kinda the way that I have been writing it, with a view to make it go either way i.e. find an artist if possible, or bulk it up to proper prose. Nice to know I am not writing it like a total retard then

My one objection with the article is the use of the term “Yorshire Bastard”. I hope that is the Gravel character talking, and not a sentiment that Mr. Ellis shares with his character, because coming from someone from Essex…. actually, I won’t go there
