Description:
Paul Pope's explosive work is igniting the minds of readers across the world. His artwork looks like what "an Elvis 45 played on a hi-fi with your finger" would sound like. Even though he has two previous comics novels under his belt (Sin Titulo and The Ballad of Dr. Richardson) and pages upon pages of work finished for his Japanese publisher, The One Trick Rip-Off is his first novel that is widely available in English. Two young lovers, Tubby and Vim, want to escape--escape the mistakes they've made, the lives they've lived, and the city that weighs them down. All they have to do is rip off the One Tricks, the toughest street gang in Los Angeles. The One Trick Rip-Off is infused with pure Paul Pope: Indian food, wildly romantic ideals, a sweaty young girl. If you like the moody, darkly romantic music of Nick Cave, you'll groove to The One Trick Rip-Off.
