Darick Robertson Books

Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's masterwork of gonzo science fiction and political soothsaying is finally available in a majestic Absolute Edition -- just as Nostradamus predicted! As vital and engaging today as when it first hit the stands, the weaponized viral meme that is TRANSMETROPOLITAN occupies the toxic quagmire that runs between the burning wreckage of print journalism and the repellent echo chamber of online media. Set in a terrifyingly plausible future defined by ever-accelerating technology, TRANSMETROPOLITAN shoves readers' outdated brains into an fMRI scanner and rewires their flabby cortexes into screaming processors of truth! This second of three volumes collects issues 19-39 of the original series together with the one-shot special FILTH OF THE CITY, and features a new introduction from Robertson as well as a host of historic extras.

The final volume in the saga of outlaw journalist Spider Jerusalem written by comics superstar Warren Ellis.At last, it’s the final showdown between Spider and the absolutely corrupt President of the United States in this new printing of the finale to the classic dystopian saga from Vertigo.

Investigative reporter Spider Jerusalem attacks the injustices of the 21st Century surroundings while working for the newspaper The Word in this critically-acclaimed graphic novel series written by comics superstar Warren Ellis, the co-creator of PLANETARY and THE AUTHORITY. In this eighth volume collecting issues #43-48 of the groundbreaking VERTIGO title, all hell breaks loose as a nameless sniper terrorizes the Print District and a raging superstorm clears the streets of The City.

Washed-up journalist Spider Jerusalem returns to The City, a place of noise, filth, and energy, where technology has drastically altered human life.

Investigative reporter Spider Jerusalem attacks the injustices of the 23rd Century surroundings while working for the newspaper The Word in this critically-acclaimed graphic novel series written by comics superstar Warren Ellis, the co-creator of PLANETARY and THE AUTHORITY.In this third volume, Spider Jerusalem begins to crumble under the pressure of sudden and unwanted fame. Having had enough of the warped 23rd 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.

Reporter Spider Jerusalem interviews two presidential candidates against the background of a society that is falling into chaos.

Nobody ever accused Warren Ellis of lacking imagination. The latest collection of the Spider Jerusalem saga, Lonely City, is packed with laser-guided satire and neo-adolescent wish fulfillment in the form of a bowel disruptor. Sliding his story of government manipulation and counter-manipulation between moments of reflection and observation makes Ellis's downbeat ending a bit less nihilistic than it could have been. Despite the gulf separating us from Jerusalem's City, it's not hard to draw parallels between his milieu of police-run riots and state-maintained misery and our own less colorful environment. Lonely City drags the man who's more "anti" than "hero" out into the world he professes to hate and forces him to do something about it, while never descending into the boring comic-book morality he fights daily. --Rob Lightner

Disgusted at the commercialization of his life and his work, journalist Spider Jerusalem decides to go after a real story, and get revenge on those responsible for killing Dr. Vita Severn in the process.

In this volume, Jerusalem targets three of society's most worshipped and warped pillars: politics, religion, and television. When Spider tries to shed light on the atrocities of these institutions, he finds himself fleeing a group of hitmen/kidnappers in possession of his ex-wife's frozen head, a distorted creature alleging to be his son, and a vicious talking police dog.

The Boys (Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman and The Female) are a CIA-backed team dedicated to preventing superheroes from abusing their power. In this third volume of their adventures, each has an agenda. Frenchie and the Female are mixing it up with the Mafia, Mother's Milk goes to see his mom, Annie January wants a word with God, and Butcher has yet another ghastly tryst with CIA Director Rayner. Meanwhile, the Legend offers to tell Hughie everything he wants to know about The Boys--all Hughie has to do is take a walk with the dead.

From the sick and twisted mind of Garth Ennis, co-creator of Preacher, and the vicious pencil of Darick Robertson, artist of Transmetropolitan, comes a darkly hilarious story that will change the way you look at superheroes forever! Hughie goes undercover as Scottish mutant "Bagpipe" to join the G-Men, a mysterious and huge group of `supes¿ led by the shadowy John Godolkin, with a history of internecine conflict which Butcher is all too happy to exploit. Meanwhile, Annie sees even more of the darkness in her own super-team, the Seven...

"This is going to hurt. In a world where costumed heroes soar through the sky and masked vigilantes prowl the night, someone's got to make sure the 'supes' don't get out of line. And someone will. Billy Butcher, Wee Hughie, Mother's Milk, The Frenchman, and The Female are The Boys: A CIA-backed team of very dangerous people, each one dedicated to the struggle against the most lethal force on Earth - superpower. Some superheroes have to be watched. Some have to be controlled. And some of them - sometimes - need to be taken out of the picture. That's when you call in The Boys. A grim personal tragedy starts Hughie on the trail to what he hopes will be justice, but soon turns out to be something else altogether: a world of unimaginable depravity. His guide is the mysterious Billy Butcher, a man with an agenda of his own for this superhuman dystopia. Together with MM, Frenchie and the Female, they discover the secrets of Teenage Kix, the Tek-Knight, Swingwing and- most terrifying of all - Earth's mightiest heroes, the team of ultra-powerful supes known as The Seven. An international conspiracy of lethal proportions soon looms, as Hughie rapidly finds himself in over his head...with no way out."-- Back cover.

" Cette ville ne s'est jamais permis de péricliter. Sa croissance est intense et sauvage. C'est un bazar animé et puant. Elle tire sa force des milliers de cultures qu'elle abrite et des milliers d'autres qui naissent chaque jour. Elle n'est pas parfaite. Elle ment, elle triche. Elle n'a rien d'utopique et les montagnes la dépassent mais, elle est vivante, je ne peux le nier. De retour depuis à peine vingt-quatre heures dans cette ville et je suis déjà aussi dingue qu'un bâtard le jour de la fête des pères. " Spider Jérusalem
