Talk:Spider Jerusalem

message: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)
replies: text: 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)

message: Thought I'd include a mention about rivet-head culture, feel free to delete if you don't think it's that relevant.
I have an issue with this statement:  "For the rest of the series, he is portrayed as virtually hairless, the exception being his eyebrows and a small amount of pubic hair."  I don't think Spider is ever depicted as having eyebrows after the shower incident.  The shading under his brow ridges does appear somewhat fuzzy in many instances and fooled me into thinking he had eyebrows, but a friend who is an artist showed me where his eyebrows would be if he had them, and it made a lot more sense that what I thought were eyebrows are simply shaded areas under the brow ridges.Webgrunt (talk) 01:05, 8 December 2014 (UTC)

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

message: Quote: It is also revealed in issue #38 that he has killed sixteen people, all but one in self-defence; he never specifies how or why (although it could be inferred that Vita Severn is meant, as Spider feels responsible for her death).
I had always assumed he was the one who killed the hotel pimp in the alley, and that this was what he referenced.
:My memory is that the pimp was killed admist a lot of other deaths that were part of a coverup to destroy any sources Spider could use.  IMHO (talk) 00:25, 29 July 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Murder 

message: Any ideas on where his name comes from? In the Hunter S. Thompson page, I read:
"About this time he began writing for the Berkeley underground paper The Spyder."
