Transmetropolitan Lyrics: In the rosy parks of England / We'll sit and have a drink / Of VP wine and cider 'til we can hardly think / And we'll go where the spirits. In the rosy parks of England We'll sit and have a drink Of VP wine and cider 'til we can hardly think And we'll go where the spirits take us To heaven or to hell And.

Of issues 60 Main character(s) Creative team Created by Written by Artist(s) Transmetropolitan is a series written by and co-created and designed by; it was published by the American company in 1997–2002.
The series was originally part of the short-lived DC Comics, but upon the end of the book's first year the series was moved to the imprint and DC Comics shut down the Helix imprint. Transmetropolitan chronicles the battles of, infamous renegade of the future, an homage to gonzo journalism founder.
Spider Jerusalem dedicates himself to fighting the corruption and abuse of power of two successive presidents; he and his 'filthy assistants' strive to keep their world from turning more than it already is while dealing with the struggles of fame and power, brought about due to the popularity of Spider via his articles. The monthly series began in July and concluded in September. The series was later reprinted in an array of ten volumes, and also featured two 'specials' ( I Hate It Here and Filth of the City) with text pieces written by the Spider Jerusalem character and illustrated by a wide range of comic artists. These were later collected in trade paperbacks.
See also: Some time in the future (how long precisely is never specified, but said to be in the 23rd century) Spider Jerusalem, retired writer/journalist and bearded hermit, lives in an isolated, fortified mountain hideaway. Following a call from his irate publisher demanding the last two books per his publishing deal, Jerusalem is forced to descend into. Jerusalem returns to work for his old partner and editor, who now edits The Word, the City's largest newspaper. His first story is about an attempted secession by the Transient movement, people who use genetic body modification based on alien DNA to become a completely different species, who are forced to live in the Angels 8 slum district.
The leader of the movement, Fred Christ, is paid to incite a riot and provoke the police, who use it as an excuse to clear out Angels 8. However, Jerusalem publishes a story revealing the truth and the brutal methods of the police; Royce publishes it live all over the city, and the public outcry forces the police to withdraw. Jerusalem is brutally beaten by police on his way home, but defiantly says that he is here to stay.
The first year of the series consists of a set of one-off stories exploring The City, Jerusalem's background, and his often tense relationship with his sidekicks, and (referred to as his 'filthy assistants'), who as the series progresses become full-time partners in his journalistic battles. The main storyline of the series, the election and corrupt presidency of Gary Callahan (or 'The Smiler'), begins in the series' second year and lasts the rest of its run. Spider initially considers Callahan the lesser evil compared to the incumbent president ('The Beast'), but his investigation into Callahan's past and his ties with a right-wing hate group lead to Callahan having his own campaign manager, Vita Severn, a friend of Jerusalem's, murdered. In a one-on-one meeting, Spider realizes that Callahan is not merely corrupt, but a complete lunatic who wants to be President solely to hurt people with his new power. To Jerusalem's horror and disgust, the people vote Callahan into office by a wide margin. Once elected, Callahan begins to use his presidential power to torment Jerusalem, the source of his trouble during the campaign. Jerusalem narrowly escapes a police massacre of people protesting how a recent hate crime was investigated.
