[edit] Publication history
Pope published issue one of THB in 1994 during a new wave of black and white independent comic books that included Bone, Hepcats, and Starchild.
Pope has sporadically published issues of THB, which became THB 6: Mek-Power after six issues, then after four issues of that (numbered 6a-6d) the story continued in Giant THB all published by Horse Press. THB: Comics From Mars #1 published by AdHouse Books was an exclusive to the 2007 San Diego Comicon.
Pope is finishing the series, and the complete series will be published as "Total THB" - a four-volume, full-color collection - by First Second Books in 2009.[1]
[edit] Plot
A sci-fi story set on Mars in the future, THB features the adventures of HR Watson, a teenage girl, and her super-powered bodyguard, THB (whose name stands for Tri-Hydro Bi-Oxygenate, a fictional molecule created by Pope). THB resembles a small rubber ball carried around by HR Watson, but when activated with water, expands to take the form of a seven-foot (215 cm) super-powered man.
