Adam Warren has spent a large part of his career known as a “manga-influenced” comics artist. Nowadays that’s a meaningless term as comics, illustration and fine art have absorbed influences from Japan and elsewhere, but when Warren began his career in the late 1980’s, it was very different. “The Dirty Pair” was based on a book series that Warren turned into comics series published by Eclipse Comics and later Dark Horse.

Consequently, I'm trying to wean myself—and the Fusion-Phallused Violator of Worlds, by extension—from such alliterative overuse, though it always seems to creep right back into his dialogue. Note that this practice has also proved extensively abusive to some of Empowered's readers, who find his somewhat elaborately florid vocabulary hard to follow at times, especially during his more abstrusely alliterative perorations... So, yeah, definitely gotta tone that stuff down a little. (Or a lot.)
Exchanges like prove Adam Warren to be one of the best comic writers alive.
