One Trick Rip-Off + Deep Cuts by Paul Pope
Requirements: CBR Reader, 642 MB.
Overview: Young lovers Tubby and Vim want to escape – escape the mistakes they’ve made, the lives they’ve lived, and the dirty city weighing them down. Their plan is simple -all they have to do is rip-off Tubby’s pals, the One Tricks – the toughest street gang in LA.
- If they pull it off, they’re set for life. If not, their lives won’t matter much anyway.
What was going to be a smooth, straight-forward heist becomes a fast-paced battle to the death.
From Eisner Award-winning writer/artist PAUL POPE (Batman: Year 100, THB, Heavy Liquid, 100%) and presented for the first time in color by Jamie Grant (All-Star Superman). One Trick RipOff/Deep Cuts is 288 pages of raw power, of which over 150 pages are comprised of new, rare, and never before seen stories created during POPE’s time traveling the world in the ’90s.
Included in the "Deep Cuts" section is a bounty of unpublished and rare work POPE did in the ’90s, including the legendary "Supertrouble" manga, created for Kodansha in Japan, appearing here in print for the first time.
It’s a tour de force of pure, kinetic storytelling that will keep your eyes peeled until the very last page.
Not a "Rip-Off"…The best intro to Pope, reviewed by Jacob R. York on January 25, 2013.
- If you’ve never read Paul Pope’s work this is the best starting point and introduction available. It’s not one long graphic novel but several different full length stories over almost 300 pages. The strengths of it being essentially an anthology are there are several genres and story types covered yet they all are distinctly Pope. Same with the artwork, it’s all Pope but the art is adjusted to fit each story. So you don’t just get one version of Pope, but several. The new coloring is fantastic yet a few stories are one or two colors. Coloring with purpose, again to suit each story. The presentation is also the best of any of Pope’s in-print works, hardcover with no annoying dust cover. Shiny and smooth, the name of the material escapes me. Sewn binding and decently thick, glossy pages that allow the inks and colors to simply pop. Overall, what more could you want in an anthology collection of Paul Pope? Anyways, if you want to read surely one of the coolest reads out there in 2013, get this now. Pope has several new books this year including Battling Boy. If you want to get caught up, get a primer of his work, or haven’t tried Pope’s work before now but don’t want to commit to a full length graphic novel, this is for you. If you’re a Pope fan, get this first chance you get. There is something here for fans of all types comics. European style comics, manga, sci-fi, crime, hell even film influences such as Tarintino. Phew. Did not expect to ramble on for so long but in case you couldn’t tell, I loved this book.
Genre: Comics, Graphic Novel, Sci Fi, Adventure, TPB, Digital.

- Pope has long been admired for his unique global comics fusion, mixing the sensuous brushwork of European comics, the dynamic layouts and pacing of Japanese manga, and the punk ethos of American youth. This collection of early rarities shows the artist dabbling in styles and developing a distinct visual and narrative voice. The centerpiece, drenched in a Reservoir Dogs–like sense of unraveling calamity, follows two young lovers through a doomed attempt to ditch town with a cache of stolen cash. Also included are various pieces that are closer to poems than stories and some work Pope made while attempting to carve out a career during the burgeoning manga boom of the late 1990s. The hodgepodge whole presents a stylistically dazzling, substantively middleweight, and revealing look at Pope’s early work. The collection should slake, at least briefly, fans’ thirst for his upcoming Battling Boy, easily one of the most highly anticipated graphic novels of the year. —Ian Chipman
