Fantastic color piece and even cooler that it was on display at his show.
How does a comment last for cover?
How can a story never die?
Art is love we must hold onto
Never easy, but we buy
Sometimes our Horsey Press captured
Somehow, our time Parade stands still
Love lives on inside our arts and always will
Minutes turn to HR, days to years then gone
But when all else has been for Watson
Still Labaune lives on
Maybe some moments weren't so armpits
Maybe some galleries art so sweet
But we have to know some bad times
Or our lines are THB
Then then the shadows cover paint us
Just when we feel Paul Pope is gone
We'll hear our song and know once more
Our love Labaune
Whoa! You got it! Great and historic piece
Wow, done completely with paints, huh? Very nice, and it trips me out when I think he was already working 30 years ago! Congrats on picking this up, Mark!
Damn that was done on a piece of film positive!? It's so cool to see a colored published cover piece by him like this. excellent addition Mark and congrats!
Yup. The gallery even sent me a video that shows the piece from a side angle.
That's a beauty. Paul didn't do many color pieces but what he did do were great. Shame he doesn't colore more of his comics, cause IMO he is the best for his work. No one has really quite fit with his style.
Thanks, Matt. Completely agree re: Pope and color.
THB was my favorite comic when it came out. This is an ABSOLUTE GRAIL
You must be thrilled that they've finally collected THB!
Very nice!
Don't know how I missed this when you first posted it, but what a terrific cover!
Gives you a hopeful energy! Love that in art and Pope succeeds in spades here. Congrats!
YES. Just yesyesyesyesyes. An indelible piece of Pope history (I remember exactly where I was when my copy of this issue arrived and my eyes saw this image for the first time) that is -SO- completely striking with it's odd purple background and the armpit... :) It felt like such a huge gap between issues at the time (which was, of course, NOTHING compared to the wait getting a reprint collection :) ), and I remember feeling a bit shocked by the vibrant energy that was coursing off the cover when I first saw it (thanks to Paul's "cutie pie" style). Just so different from everything else on the stands at the time. It took a bit for my brain to dive into and dig and process it all, but it was fun feeling Paul pushing me around like that with this cover. A beautiful add to your gallery, Mark, and YES, FINALLY, a long-overdue THB reprint book! Such an incredible add: a published THB piece!! Really, really special - so cool! Huge congrats, Mark!
