Pulphope collects the art of Paul Pope... from manga to erotica to rock posters. This is his artistic manifesto. In America, Paul's been called the "Comics Destroyer". In France, he's been called the "Jim Morrison of comics" and "Comics' Petit Prince". His work is translated into a number of languages on three continents. He's one of a handful of young cartoonists to be consistently gaining critical praise and media attention, appearing on the Sci-Fi Channel, Much Music, and elsewhere. He's been in everything from Spin to A F to Entertainment Weekly to Jalouse to V Magazine to The Village Voice. And he's the only American cartoonist to have worked for Japan's largest manga publisher (Kodansha) for five-plus years. The book is a "mature book" which was a step down from it being an "adult book". The highly sexual pictures and the penetration pictures were removed last minute by editorial decision. The book also comes shrink wrapped with a warning stick on it.
There is still nudity in this book and there are a lot of comic strips and essays still included.
