"He's the aspiring Picasso who has become one of comics' hottest and most inventive talents. Ninth Art looks back on the career so far of one of comics' few recognised modern artists, the prodigious Paul Pope. 21 July 2003
Paul Pope, ingénue and self-styled 'Comics Destroyer', was born in 1972 in Ohio, USA. Pope studied fine arts at college with the intention of becoming the next Picasso, before switching to philosophy, and then switching back to fine arts. After eight years of feeling unchallenged, he dropped out: "School really fucks you up if you're at all serious about living an intelligent, examined life. Either you fall prey to the current academic prejudices, or you become a railing cynic. I dropped out as a third alternative, and I'm much happier making comics."
