Editorial Review: Product Description: The first retrospective monograph from the Comic Destroyer, Paul Pope. Containing many unseen pieces of art and comics from the creator who has brought us THB, Heavy Liquid and 100%. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Paul Pope gives pulp hopeThis is a softcover coffee table book aiming to capture Paul Pope - not just the artwork, but the person - in a single volume. I wouldn't recommend this for people totally unfamiliar with Pope's work as this book is rather expensive, but I would recommend it to sexy, interesting types (I hope you know someone like that, or see yourself that way).

His art seems driven, and the essays in this book (I was surprised by the amount of text, but not unpleasantly, as it turned out) enhance this feeling. The book paints a picture of an artist with a great deal of passion for his work, and also a deeply thoughtful, philosophic side, and a strong respect for the history of his chosen art. The pictures are often raw-edged, a few of them appear to have been lifted from sketchbooks or diaries, ... Read More Rating: - pulpyall in all a very cool book. being relatively new to pope (first through heavy liquid and batman 100, the best bat thing ever!) i find the book a very good intro to him, his ideas and thought process. he really seems to be on the path of re-creating / re-defining the "comic". the different essays throughout go from open self effacement to sadly comedic in his dealings with poss. employers and his tenure in japan. his knowledge of art history and his own desire to be a leader in his chosen area is very evident ...
