Paul Pope
Paul Pope is an alternative cartoonist whose ink-heavy, kinetic style bridges American comics and a manga sensibility. His Batman: Year 100 imagined a future Gotham where Batman is an urban legend hunted by a surveillance state — one of the most visually distinctive Batman stories ever put on paper. His creator-owned THB, 100% and Heavy Liquid cemented his cult reputation as a true comics auteur.
Batman: Year 100 is collected in a complete deluxe edition that lets his brushwork breathe at full size. His Vertigo-era work, 100% and Heavy Liquid, appears in collected hardcovers, and the all-ages Battling Boy expanded his worldbuilding for a new audience. Each is unmistakably drawn and written by the same singular hand.

Pope is for readers who want auteur comics with a personal, physical style — not house-style superheroes. His collected editions are the best way to own his key stories in one place, and they read as much like art objects as narratives. A deliberate, rewarding pick for the shelf.
