Warren Ellis
Yes, the scourge of all editors, rising star of the comics world and all-round enfant terrible has its own Web site. The online scripts, proposals and columns will have Ellis fans in heaven, but anyone with an interest in modern comics should take a look around, not least for the "From the Desk Archives", a collection of Ellis's rants and raves.

Sequential Tart
Run by 'an eclectic band of women', Sequential Tart is a monthly online magazine, or Webzine, with its feet rooted very firmly on the ground. Each issue contains features on artists and titles, industry gossip and opinion columns, comics reviews and creator profiles. Despite the title, it doesn't specifically concentrate on women in the industry - just quality comics.

The Beano
Even after 60 years in print, The BEano still continues to be the most popular comic for children. Combine this with the amount of youngsters who are rapidly gaining access to the Internet, and it's only logical that The Beano now has a Web site of its own. There's an interactive comic where you can control Dennis the Menace, sliding-puzzle games featuring pictures of Dennis, Minnie the Minx, and so on - and you can even make your own puppets. One of the strengths of this site is that many of the activities require children toprint something out abd then make it, colour it, etc.
