“My art is about good times and the people, places and experiences I’ve encountered growing up in California. I feel a special connection to the esthetic and freedom of the 60’s and 70’s, which has led my art to pass through a psychedelic filter. When I’m not drawing on paper, I’m drawing inspiration and endless ideas from surfing, skating, camping and exploring rivers and beaches. I want the viewer to feel the sun, feel the water, stick out their tongue and rip off their clothes. Get free. Get weird. Get happy. Get on the bus.” – Jesse California

The extraordinary world introduced in Paul Pope’s Battling Boy is rife with monsters and short on heroes… but in this action-driven extension of the Battling Boy universe, we see it through a new pair of eyes: Aurora West, daughter of Arcopolis’s last great hero, Haggard West.

A prequel to Battling Boy, The Rise of Aurora West follows the young hero as she seeks to uncover the mystery of her mother’s death, and to find her place in a world overrun with supernatural monsters and all-too-human corruption. With a taut, fast-paced script from Paul Pope and JT Petty and gorgeous, kinetic art from David Rubin, The Rise of Aurora West (the first of two volumes) is a tour de force in comics storytelling.

Paul Pope is the acclaimed author-illustrator of Batman: Year 100, Heavy Liquid, and 100%. Known for his frenetic, high-energy artwork and action-packed, genre-bending storytelling, Pope has won three Eisner Awards. He lives and works in New York City. His first graphic novel for kids, Battling Boy, was a #1 New York Times Best-Seller.
