PAUL POPE's new graphic novel Battling Boy debuted at #1 on the New York Times bestseller list, and the original art is now the focus of a series of traveling art exhibits in the United States and Europe. Image Comics presents POPE's large, lush, brushy original drawings, represented here in detail, photographed from the actual art boards, with minimal editorial interference or digital editing. This is a wide sampling from the various touring exhibits, featuring the art in its original format, with text in English, French, and Italian. The book focuses on the subtleties of the drawings in process, replicating the experience of seeing the art in person. 63 originals from Battling Boy are showcased, along with detailed close-ups of the pages. A critical essay by CHARLES BROWNSTEIN, executive director of CBLDF, is included. POPE himself contributes an essay on the influences behind Battling Boy, as well as his process and technique. This is a must for any POPE fan, student, fellow artist, or fan of the medium. MONSTERS & TITANS is a celebration of the original art from one of the most critically-acclaimed American cartoonists of our time.
The new graphic novel from award-winning creator Paul Pope! When Battling Boy's father, a warrior god, drops him on a world infested with bloodthirsty monsters, he leaves his son with nothing but a magic credit card, a trunk full of enchanted tee shirts, and instructions not to come home until he's liberated the planet from its plague of monsters. It's one kid vs an entire world full of monsters. And the monsters don't stand a chance.
You've seen pages from it, heard other creators talk about it online, but for all of those a bit further down the ladder, Paul Pope's highly anticipated new work is finally here!! Going into reading this, I had a preconceived notion as to what it was going to be, what I wanted it to be, but as usual Pope gives you what you need not what you want and Battling Boy is the result. A perfect manga influenced coming of age story on a cosmic scale that pits a young demigod against a town full of predatory pedophiles in different colored KKK hoods with nothing but his wits and a trunk of magical t-shirts at his disposal!
Frank Wells saved the world, but now what?! Amazing Grace fights for life in a cosmic coma! And the Agents of Change have a superhero encounter session! Don't miss the second smash issue of the baddest comic on the stands!

This one-shot comic reprises scenes from the beginning of Battling Boy by Paul Pope. It presents the death of Haggard West, a vigilante-style superhero who protected the monster-ridden world of Arcolpolis before Battling Boy arrived to rid the planet of monster once and for all. The Death of Haggard West is a 32-page one-shot limited edition pamphlet comic with exclusive material (illustration and original cover) from Battling Boy author-illustrator Paul Pope.
You've
heard about it, seen pieces of it on the internet, had friends who
bought original art from it, but now, finally, you can read Paul Pope's
newest masterpiece, BATTLING BOY!! Ok, well, maybe this is only the
first chapter, but it'll give you a taste
at just how fun and energetic Pope's new book turned out! I was
fortunate enough to read the book in its entirety and honestly I was a
little skeptical at first. Pope's been working on this for so damn long
that I'm expecting every panel to look like the Sistine Chapel, but what
he delivers is a quick, dirty and nasty style that evokes his earlier,
inkier work, with a mad cap energy that reminds me of Corey Lewis'
turbo-charged comix. Pope has delivered an American Manga complete
with coming of age demigod dilemmas that will punch the FUN back into funnybooks!! (oh yeah, and magic t-shirts)

(W/A) Paul Pope
Young lovers Tubby and Vim want to escape - escape the mistakes they've made, the lives they've lived, and the dirty city weighing them down. Their plan is simple -all they have to do is rip-off Tubby's pals, the One Tricks - the toughest street gang in LA.
If they pull it off, they're set for life. If not, their lives won't matter much anyway.
What was going to be a smooth, straight-forward heist becomes a fast-paced battle to the death.

ONE TRICK RIP-OFF/DEEP-CUTS is 288 pages of raw power, of which over 150 pages are comprised of new, rare, and never before seen stories created during POPE's time traveling the world in the '90s.
Included in the "Deep Cuts" section is a bounty of unpublished and rare work POPE did in the '90s, including the legendary "Supertrouble" manga, created for Kodansha in Japan, appearing here in print for the first time.
It's a tour de force of pure, kinetic storytelling that will keep your eyes peeled until the very last page.
Alright boys and girls, bust out your wallets and thank the comic book gods that you can even buy something this awesome, something this rare all in one nicely crafted package! Paul Pope, known recently for his work on Batman Year 100, cut his teeth in the cutthroat industry of Japanese publishing as the only American to ever produce a weekly series for Kodansha with his totally rad, cutie-pie strip "Supertrouble" which is presented here for the first time, along with his inky rendition of L.A.'s slimy underbelly, "One trick Rip Off." Grat for fans of Brandon Graham, James Stokoe, Moebius, Hugo Pratt and anyone looking for supercharged, down and dirty comix!! RECOMMENDED BY CASEY!
