Transmetropolitan: Year of the Bastard, Vol. 3 FROM THE PUBLISHER
In the third volume of the TRANSMETROPOLITAN collection, journalistic desperado Spider Jerusalem begins to crumble under the pressure of sudden and unwanted fame. Having had enough of the warped 21st century Babylon that he lives in, Spider escapes into a world of bitterness and pills. As he stumbles through this haze of depression and drugs, he must find a way to cover the biggest story of the year, the presidential election. Armed with only his demented mind and dark sense of humor, Spider embarks on an adventure of political cynicism, horrific sex, and unwelcome celebrity which culminates in a shocking and ruinous ending.
FROM THE CRITICS
Wolk - The Voice Literary Supplement
Spider Jerusalem, the protagonist of the
Transmetropolitan series, is comics writer
Warren Ellis's finest creation: a bile-spitting,
drug-pickled, semi-psychotic journalist trying
to orient his ethical compass in a hysterically
dystopian future mega-city...Even at its
funniest, the book's tone is blisteringly bitter
and vulgar, but there's moral gravity at its
center, pulling through the chaos of the
political spectacle.
