Origin |
|
The
reclusive journalist and author of the best selling book "Shot In The
Face", was forced by his contract, and the fact that he had boozed
and drugged all his money away, to leave his mountain hideaway and return
to the City. To write he had to work, and to
work he had to write. Calling upon his old editor Mitchell Royce at
"The Word", Spider returned to his quest of exposing wrongs and
writing about the futuristic weirdness that is life in the City as a
Transmetropolitan. |
