Warren James Hinckle III (October 12, 1938 – August 25, 2016) was an American political journalist based in San Francisco.
 Hinckle is remembered for his tenure as editor of "Ramparts" magazine, turning a sleepy publication aimed at a liberal Roman Catholic audience into a major galvanizing force of American radicalism during the Vietnam War era.
 He also helped create Gonzo journalism by first pairing Hunter S. Thompson with illustrator Ralph Steadman.
Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas: A Savage Journey to the Heart of the American Dream is a novel by Hunter S. Thompson, illustrated by Ralph Steadman.
 The book is a roman à clef, rooted in autobiographical incidents.
 The story follows its protagonist, Raoul Duke, and his attorney, Dr. Gonzo, as they descend on Las Vegas to chase the American Dream through a drug-induced haze, all the while ruminating on the failure of the 1960s countercultural movement.
 The work is Thompson's most famous book, and is noted for its lurid descriptions of illegal drug use and its early retrospective on the culture of the 1960s.
 Its popularization of Thompson's highly subjective blend of fact and fiction has become known as gonzo journalism.
 The novel first appeared as a two-part series in "Rolling Stone" magazine in 1971, was published as a book in 1972.
 It was later adapted into a film of the same name in 1998 by Terry Gilliam, starring Johnny Depp and Benicio del Toro who portrayed Raoul Duke and Dr. Gonzo, respectively.
Transmetropolitan is a cyberpunk transhumanist comic book series written by Warren Ellis and co-created and designed by Darick Robertson; it was published by the American company DC Comics in 1997-2002.
 The series was originally part of the short-lived DC Comics imprint Helix, but upon the end of the book's first year the series was moved to the Vertigo imprint and DC Comics shut down the Helix imprint.
 "Transmetropolitan" chronicles the battles of Spider Jerusalem, infamous renegade gonzo journalist of the future, an homage to gonzo journalism founder Hunter S. Thompson.

Gonzo Papers, Vol.
 3: Songs of the Doomed: More Notes on the Death of the American Dream is a book by the American writer and journalist Hunter S. Thompson, originally published in 1990.
 This third installment of "The Gonzo Papers" is a chronologically arranged selection of stories, letters, journals and reporting, allowing readers to see how Thompson's brand of "new journalism," also termed Gonzo journalism, has evolved over the years.
 It is a collection of Dr. Thompson's essays and articles.
 This collection is mostly made up of pieces from the Reagan era, but there are also some older stories, including excerpts from his unfinished first novel, "Prince Jellyfish", which is still unpublished, and "The Rum Diary", which was not published on its own until 1998.
Gonzo journalism is a style of journalism that is written without claims of objectivity, often including the reporter as part of the story via a first-person narrative.
 The word "gonzo" is believed to have been first used in 1970 to describe an article by Hunter S. Thompson, who later popularized the style.
 It is an energetic first-person participatory writing style in which the author is a protagonist, and it draws its power from a combination of social critique and self-satire.
 It has since been applied to other subjective artistic endeavors.
The Great Shark Hunt is a book by Hunter S. Thompson.
 Originally published in 1979 as Gonzo Papers, Vol.

 It is the first of four volumes in "The Gonzo Papers" series.

Thompson of Islamic literature," and his non-fiction work exemplifies the principles of gonzo journalism.
