Warren Ellis' e-mail column shows that he is a modern master of the short form essay as his biting wit makes even the most esoteric of topics must-reads. Ellis describes the work as "Bad Signal is me on the move, emptying my head of thoughts and shoving them into a handheld computer with a wireless modem plugged into it, so that I can instantly bug four thousand people with useless email from public toilets all over the world." Collected for the first time, this graphic novel features the Bad Signal columns profusely illustrated with dozens of stunning new illustrations by celebrated artist Jacen Burrows.
