Transmetropolitan #32

Transmetropolitan #32 (April 2000) brings a striking change of pace with a cover by Jaime Hernandez that feels like a sun-drenched city snapshot — a glamorous woman in a bold red latex outfit and wide-brimmed hat strides confidently through a busy urban street, while a familiar bald, one-eyed figure trails in her wake, surrounded by oblivious city crowds. The contrast between her vivid presence and his scowling, black-clad silhouette gives the whole image a wonderfully off-kilter energy. Warren Ellis, Darick Robertson, and Rodney Ramos continue to make this Vertigo series one of the most distinctive on the stands.
