in 1995, the same year he began work for Kodansha
, Japan's best-known manga
publisher. Pope eventually developed the manga
Supertrouble for Kodansha, which mined the "cutie-pie" girl adventure vein that THB exists in. Pope has self-published some of his work through his own Horse Press, with other work such as One-Trick Ripoff coming from Dark Horse Comics
and Heavy Liquid
and 100% published under DC Comics
' Vertigo imprint.
Pope's work combines the precision and romance of the European artists he studies with the energy and page design of the manga tradition. His storytelling narratives continue to mature with well-paced, deftly-shaded combinations of science fiction, hardboiled crime stories and the Romeo and Juliet
archetype. Pope's two protagonist types are the silent, lanky outsider male of One-Trick Ripoff, Escapo and Heavy Liquid, or the resourceful, aggressive, humorous young teenage girls of THB.
In 2006, Pope received an Eisner Award
for Best Short Story for his work, "Teenage Sidekick", published in Solo
#3.
In 2007, Pope won two additional Eisners, Best Writer/Artist and Best Limited Series, for his Batman
mini-series, Batman: Year 100

, he's also a very physical superhero
: he bleeds, he sweats, he eats. He's someone born into an over-arching police state
; someone with the body of David Beckham
, the brain of Tesla
, and the wealth of Howard Hughes
... pretending to be Nosferatu." The story, colored by José Villarrubia
, was originally presented in a four-part prestige format in 2006. DC Comics later published a trade paperback collecting Batman: Year 100 in early 2007. The trade also includes Pope's "Berlin Batman"
story from The Batman Chronicles
No. 11. "Berlin Batman" involves a version of Batman who lives in the German Weimar Republic
on the eve of World War II
. The Weimar Batman helps keep the papers of Austrian School
economist Ludwig von Mises
from falling into Nazi hands. Both Batman stories in the collection reflect implicit libertarian
themes that often appear in Pope's work. He also wrote one of the comics for Toonami
's website.
