Absolute Transmetropolitan Complete Three Volume Hardcover Bundle

Own the complete oversized hardcover collection of Transmetropolitan with this three-volume Absolute Transmetropolitan bundle, collecting Warren Ellis and Darick Robertson’s legendary cyberpunk comic in DC’s premium Absolute format.

Set in a chaotic, media-saturated future, Transmetropolitan follows Spider Jerusalem, a foul-mouthed, drug-fueled, truth-obsessed journalist dragged back into the City to take on corruption, political decay, corporate rot, and the endless circus of modern media. Armed with a bowel disruptor, a laptop, and a complete lack of chill, Spider tears through a world that feels absurd, hilarious, horrifying, and uncomfortably recognizable.

Written by Warren Ellis with career-defining artwork by Darick Robertson, Transmetropolitan is one of the most important Vertigo-era comic book series of all time. It blends cyberpunk science fiction, political satire, black comedy, and gonzo journalism into a story about power, truth, media, celebrity, technology, and what happens when society gets addicted to noise.

This complete three-volume Absolute set collects Transmetropolitan #1–60, along with bonus material including Vertigo: Winter’s Edge #2, Transmetropolitan: I Hate It Here, and Transmetropolitan: Filth of the City. Across all three volumes, readers get Spider Jerusalem’s full story from his furious return to journalism through his final battle with the powerful forces trying to bury the truth.

Presented in oversized 8 1/8” x 12 1/4” Absolute hardcover format, this is the definitive way to experience Transmetropolitan. Whether you are a longtime Vertigo fan, a collector of premium DC hardcovers, a cyberpunk reader, or a new reader looking for one of the sharpest, loudest, and most unhinged comics ever published, this bundle delivers the complete series in a shelf-dominating format.

You do not need to know anything before reading Transmetropolitan. The story starts with Spider Jerusalem being forced out of isolation and back into the City, where he returns to his old job as a journalist. From there, the series introduces its world, politics, characters, and chaos as Spider investigates the future one disaster at a time.

This is not a traditional superhero comic. It is a sci-fi satire about journalism, power, corruption, politics, media, and the weird ways technology changes people. Think cyberpunk meets political comedy, with a main character who is brilliant, disgusting, angry, hilarious, and somehow still the moral center of the book. Basically, he is what would happen if Hunter S. Thompson got launched into the worst possible future and decided to make it everyone else’s problem.
