Paul Pope

Books Inc. and the Alameda Free Library present Eisner Award-winning author-illustrator Paul Pope sharing his latest delightful and adventurous graphic novel, The Rise of Aurora West. The extraordinary world introduced in Pope's "Battling Boy" is rife with monsters and short on heroes, but this action-driven prequel introduces Aurora West, daughter of Haggard West, Arcopolis' last great hero. Aurora seeks to uncover the mystery of her mother's death and find her place in a world overrun with monsters and all-too-human corruption.

Arcopolis is desperate, but when its salvation comes in the form of a twelve-year-old demigod, nobody is more surprised than Battling Boy himself. It's time to meet an electrifying new hero!"
