Ennis has an almost fetishistic attitude towards special forces soldiers. Especially the S.A.S. I think it's in his contract that at least one character in every story he writes has to be in the S.A.S.

I think it's all soldiers in general. He did Battlefields and War Stories as well.

Don't look up when Jim Shooter started with Marvel in comics.

FTFY - he worked for DC for a decent while before that.

That was probably easier to do when the sum total of your knowledge about the author came from a one-paragraph blurb on the back of the book, if that.

Now you can open a browser tab and in ten minutes, discover things about an author that almost force you to radically reevaluate his or her work.

The internet is both the best and worst thing. It's this wonderful tool for communication and information but if it's taught us anything, it's that people we look up to and admire are no different than anybody else. They gently caress up just as much as we do, and it's worse because everyone is watching them.
