Everyone should have a full collection of Transmetropolitan on their shelf, that's just the rule! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Still Relevant *by J***B on October 4, 2025* 30 years old and still as relevant as it was back in the day. It could have been written yesterday. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Digging it! *by R***T on May 20, 2021* I've been an avid science fiction fan most of my life, but I've kinda struggled to get into comic books until recently. I know, I know, some people like the term "graphic novel," but if "comic book" is a good enough term for Alan Moore, it's good enough for me. I always seemed to find books in the middle of a series and had trouble tracking down enough of a series to get into it. So now, I generally prefer to read omnibuses and stuff so I don't have to go hunting. I get that some people love that, but shoot, I work full time, you know? OK, enough context, review proper: This is the story of Spyder Jerusalem, a gonzo journalist in a vaguely-dystopian cyberpunk future. He's living in in a cabin up in the mountains, sick of dealing with people. But a publisher gave him an advance for his next book and it's enough money that they could conceivably hire hit-men. And for whatever reason, Spyder needs to be in the city to write about it. So Spyder reluctantly returns to the crowded, high-tech insanity of The City. He gets a job working as a columnist to keep a roof over his head while he writes his book. He bounces from bizzare future event to bizarre future event, dodging headless assassins, psychotic sentient police dogs, and even stranger conspiracies against the harried journalist. I'm a huge William Gibson and John Varley fan. The world of Spyder Jerusalem feels like one of Varley's Eight Worlds grounded in a William Gibson future. Additionally, the main character feels a lot like Hunter S. Thompson's Raoul Duke from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. Oddly, I really struggled to get into Fear and Loathing and relate to that novel's protagonist, but I love Spyder in Transmetropolitan. I don't know if the sci-fi setting makes it work or what, but Spyder is the perfect viewpoint character to explore this particular cyberpunk dystopia. The story has these bizarre premises and convolutions but these weirdly human moments scattered throughout. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.kr/products/136788472-transmetropolitan-book-one](https://www.desertcart.kr/products/136788472-transmetropolitan-book-one) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Korea* *Store origin: KR* *Last updated: 2026-05-17*
