THB 6: Mek-Power

In the early 2000s, Paul Pope returned to his creator-owned universe with THB 6: Mek-Power, a four-issue miniseries published by Horse Press. The story deepens the sci-fi mythology of his earlier THB work, following the adventures of the young heroine THB and her companions on a distant, visually stunning world. Pope handled both writing and art, bringing his signature blend of kinetic linework, expressive characters, and futuristic grit to every page. This series is a vital chapter in Pope's independent oeuvre, showcasing his singular vision as a cartoonist unbound by corporate constraints.
