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.

2001 Graphic Novel Paul Pope

In a future New York City transformed into a sprawling sci-fi metropolis, “S,” a former police officer turned private detective, becomes entangled in a complex web of art, addiction, and intrigue. After stealing a mysterious substance known as “heavy liquid”—a material that serves both as a potent drug and a medium for avant-garde sculpture—S is pursued by enigmatic art collectors and relentless assassins. Paul Pope’s distinctive linework and dynamic storytelling blend cyberpunk aesthetics with noir sensibilities, crafting a narrative that delves into themes of perception, creativity, and the quest for meaning in an alienating urban landscape.
