Information for anyone who cares to implement it in further edits: Spider Jerusalem appeared as a "Mr. Carter" in Ellis's other work 'Planetary' at the end of issue 7. A short appearance in the year 1999 (long before the Transmetropolitan setting) where he says it's time to become someone else. Seems a prelude to Transmetropolitan. ____

[edit] Alan Moore Vs Grant Morrison

Having no knowledge to back up my supposition i'm not going to place it in the main article, however, there are parallels between the two ways in which Spider Jerusalem appears in the comic and the appearance of Alan Moore and Grant Morrison; namely massivly hairy and completely bald.Kejoxen 20:25, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

I hadn't made the Grant Morrison connection, but before his grooming accident, he most certainly had a striking resemblance to Alan Moore. I'll try to dig up some interviews and whatnot and see if that connection has actually been made in a citeable source. EvilCouch 09:43, 11 October 2006 (UTC)
the fact that the bar he detonates in the first issue bears a neon sign for "Moore Beer" certainly doesn't hurt the argument.--Stickmangrit 00:50, 3 December 2006 (UTC)
Warren Ellis and Alan Moore go way back, to my understanding. It's kind of a shame that a citeable source is needed to point out the fact that he happened to have a resemblance to Moore (whether intentional or not), because I think it is worth noting.--MythicFox 11:28, 13 December 2006 (UTC)

Through the wonders of the internet i'll happily fake a source for you with a citable source


[edit] Spoiler Warning?

There are several spoilers (including the Vita Severns murder), with no warning. Anyone who knows how want to do something about it?

[edit] Appearance

Thought I'd include a mention about rivet-head culture, feel free to delete if you don't think it's that relevant.

[edit] Mister X?

Any connection to Mister X? There's certainly a visual similarity, as well as similarities in setting. Kelvingreen 16:37, 4 April 2007 (UTC)
