Monsters & Titans: Original Art from the Battling Boy Touring Exhibition

Paul Pope's new graphic novel Battling Boy debuted at #1 on the
New York Times bestseller list, and the original art is now the focus of
a series of traveling art exhibits in the United States and Europe. Image Comics
presents Pope's large, lush, brushy original drawings, represented here in
detail, photographed from the actual art boards, with minimal editorial
interference or digital editing. This is a wide sampling from the various
touring exhibits, featuring the art in its original format, with text in
English, French, and Italian. The book focuses on the subtleties of the drawings
in process, replicating the experience of seeing the art in person. 63 originals
from Battling Boy are showcased, along with detailed close-ups of the
pages.

A critical essay by Charles Brownstein, executive director of CBLDF, is
included. Pope himself contributes an essay on the influences behind Battling
Boy, as well as his process and technique.
