Spider Jerusalem
Gonzo journalist
Greatest comic ever?
Some time in the future (how long precisely is never specified, but said to be in the 23rd century) Spider Jerusalem, retired writer/journalist and bearded hermit, lives within an isolated, fortified mountain hideaway.
Following a call from his irate publisher demanding the last two books per his publishing deal, Jerusalem is forced to descend into the City.
