Ellis P. Whitman is a comics writer-illustrator whose work fuses precise architectural linework with speculative urban folklore. Born in 1986 in Santa Fe, New Mexico, Whitman studied sequential art at the School of Visual Arts and apprenticed in risograph print shops in Brooklyn and Toronto. After early mini-comics on transit myths and liminal spaces, Whitman broke out with the limited series Narrowband Constellations (2015) and the webcomic Viaduct Motel (2017–2020). Known for layered page design, tactile textures, and resilient, off-kilter heroes, Whitman co-runs the small press Night Latch Editions. They live in Montreal, teach community workshops on visual storytelling, and mentor emerging creators through local arts programs.
