Critics Review
Praise for THB
“A landmark work in the evolution of indie comics. Three decades since its initial release, Pope’s epic remains a unique fusion of science fiction, coming-of-age narrative, and underground aesthetics.” –Library Journal, starred review
“Bravo! Paul Pope is on-target!” –Will Eisner
“THB is a jolt of pure comics energy that hits with the same force as the best of Kirby and Moebius.” –Jesse Lonergan, author of Drome
“Sophisticated…imaginative…an opus of pulp storytelling and metacomics soul-searching.” –The Village Voice
