With his brother Gary Pleece, he wrote and drew four issues of a self published comics magazine called "Velocity" between 1987 and 1989. A satirical collection of stories, there were no recurring characters, but many recognisable caricatures from politics and pop culture. The fifth issue was published by Acme Press in 1990. Their first non self published work appeared in Escape magazine.
Warren Pleece also collaborated with
Woodrow Phoenix onSinister Romance , a comic published byHarrier . He then collaborated with Irish writerGarth Ennis on the strip "True Faith", serialised in "Crisis" and eventually published as a trade paperback. "True Faith" sparked some controversy in the UK with an article in the Daily Mail due to its story being critical about Christianity.Pleece contributed "Second City Blues" to the comic "2000AD", which was a series set in a futuristic Birmingham, with teams playing a deadly sport similar to the film "Rollerball".
Pleece has since worked professionally mainly for
DC Comics . He began with a four-issue Vertigo series featuring the Tattooed Man and has since contributed to the "Hellblazer " series, "The Invisibles " withGrant Morrison , and "Kinetic" byKelley Puckett .Bibliography
