They Don't Make Good Comics Anymore

[Balbinus]

On the whole, I've never been a big fan of comics that weren't superhero themed, though I have read "Y: the last man", and thought it had its moments.

Transmetropolitan is, of course, utterly brilliant. But mostly because its tapped into the spirit of the brilliance that was Hunter S. Thompson.

Ah, fair enough, I tend not to get into the superhero ones though there are occasional exceptions.

Transmet does indeed owe much and very obviously to HST, though ultimately HST is better of course.

Word.

"Fear and Loathing On the Campaign Trail '72" IS the plot to Transmetropolitan, except that it actually happened, true story, in our own world. That makes it so much cooler.

Did this used to run in Goad's magazine "Answer Me!"?

I read all of the issues of that radioactively misanthropic zine way back in the day.
