Doktor Sleepless

In 2012, Panini France launched Doktor Sleepless, a two-issue comic series written by Benjamin Rivière and Warren Ellis, with art by Ivan Rodriguez. The story follows a mysterious figure who challenges a dystopian near-future society through provocative broadcasts and experiments. This collaboration brought together Ellis's signature transhumanist themes with Rivière's narrative energy, creating a sharp, philosophical thriller about control and resistance. Though brief, the series stands as a compact, cerebral entry in Ellis's body of work, exploring the edges of sleep, consciousness, and rebellion.
