Paul Pope's Battling Boy! Reviewed by lyrafay on December 03, 2013

Where to start with this book?! There probably too many adjectives to describe this book: fantastic, wow and awesome.

First of all lets talk about the art: Paul Pope's art is something to behold, its a mixture of childish drawings, Jack Kirby's loving hand and Moebius's dash of science-fiction. It even feels like there is also a touch of Dr Seuss.

Every image comes alive through the page from the usual colour palette of blues, browns, terracotta red, purple and orange which enters your eyes like a firework such as this image to the left.

Not only there an usual colour palette but an wonderful mix of steampunk, Native American totems, Mexican border town architecture and silver age comic science-fiction.

Speaking of silver age, the story itself echoes an classic mad silver age story from Jack Kirby particularly his New Gods' stories. The story which tells of the story of Battling boy taking the reins of heroship from his Thor/Orion like father while the character of Aurora West must step away from her father, a Rocketeer/Batman like Haggard West's shadow to protect the city of Acropolis (A wink to Kirby) from the monsters (who happen to all live in a underground bar!) Each monster has names Humbaba and Sadisto which sound like Stan Lee's early day in comics when he made those endless monster comics for Timely. Overall its a silver age story but with modern elements in it which can read by all-ages, boys and girls.

So please read this but I don't want to give anymore away!
