100% #[nn]

Paul Pope's 100% from Vertigo is a sleek, confident work that announces its sensibility right on the cover — a blue-haired dancer mid-leap, rendered in Pope's distinctive fluid linework, framed within a dramatic triangular composition that separates a fiery lower world from the cool blue glow of a crowded stage below. The bold periwinkle field and oversized title typography give the whole thing an almost graphic-design swagger that feels utterly at home in Pope's hands. Collected here in a 2010 Vertigo edition with colors by Lee Loughridge, this is a beautifully designed package for one of the more distinctively personal works in Pope's catalog.
