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.
