Spider Jerusalem Sez -


Transmetropolitan, #46. 8/1/2001  Helix, then Vertigo Comics, D.C.  I think the comic flawed but very original, this is Spider Jerusalem, far too obviously based on Hunter Thompson.  


This could have been another AD 2000.  The city is much more interesting than the story.


This stuff is pure gold.  The Sex Puppets.


One of your better literary cats.  He chainsmokes Russian cigarettes and has a poor attitude in general.


Many people think this predicted the 'Rise of Trump'.  Those same people believe that journalism today is a profession requiring courage and honesty.  Spider is allowed to continue living while being a one man anti - government gadfly.  This is pure fantasy.


Well worth reading.



Enjoy.

  1. Very cool -- Shades of Frank Miller here. As I recall, Miller was really influential in comics across the board at this time.

    1. Yes, the art is not in Miller's class but it ain't bad at all, not at all.
