THB: Comics from Mars #1
In "A Brief History ...Or... How There Came To Be People On Mars (By H.R. Watson)," Paul Pope delivers a striking, self-contained visual narrative in a six-page spread that unfolds with surreal precision. The story centers on a pivotal moment in Martian sports history—the 37th annual Zoo-Ball Tournament Championship Game—where a single play earns a player the MVP title, all rendered in Pope’s distinctive, hyper-detailed style. The cover, also by Pope, complements the interior’s intricate artwork with its own bold, hand-crafted aesthetic.
