Transmetropolitan #53

Spider Jerusalem perches atop a massive stone lion statue, shirtless beneath an open black coat, his signature two-colored glasses catching the light as he holds a weapon at his side — the sprawling futuristic City stretching behind him under a moon wearing an unsettling grin. Glenn Fabry's cover art for this April 2002 Vertigo issue crackles with attitude, balancing the gritty and the surreal in equal measure. "The Cure Part Two of Three" promises Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson's signature blend of chaos and conviction, with Robertson and inker Rodney Ramos bringing the interior world to life.
