Paul Pope is a maverick American cartoonist whose kinetic brushwork and futurist pulp storytelling have earned him cult status. Known for “Battling Boy”, “THB”, and “Batman: Year 100”, Pope merges European sophistication with manga speed and American grit. His art is fluid, sensual, and rebellious, often featuring bold heroes in chaotic urban sprawls. Pope’s signature style—equal parts Moebius and Jack Kirby—redefines what action comics can look and feel like in the 21st century.

2007 DC Comics Graphic Novel

Set in a dystopian 2039 Gotham City, this graphic novel envisions a future where privacy is extinct, and the city operates under a totalitarian regime. Amidst this, a mysterious figure resembling the long-forgotten Batman emerges, pursued by federal agents for the murder of a government operative. Paul Pope’s narrative delves into themes of identity, freedom, and resistance, while his gritty, kinetic art style brings a raw intensity to the story. José Villarrubia’s moody color work enhances the atmospheric tension, crafting a tale that challenges the nature of heroism in a surveillance state.
