Paul Pope, Batman and Bowling Green
Paul Pope, Batman and Bowling Green: If you are a fan of Manga and/or comics in any way shape or form, you have read Batman comics. The new author/artist for Batman comics is Paul Pope. Now the kicker is that Paul Pope is from Bowling Green, Ohio. I would not have heard about this, had Wired magazine not published this tidbit somewhere in their article on him. Apparently he tried to get his art degree from OSU and then moved to New York. What bothered me was the fact that every bit of literature on this guy is devoid of the fact that he is an Ohio native and he seems to get away from mentioning that when asked questions about himself. Why would someone be so ashamed of their background? Did he really have such a sh**y childhood? Oh well. He is from around here and that makes me proud.
As an aside, I do like his work and I cannot wait to get my hands on a Batman inked by him.

I once read an article in Time magazine that claimed Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster were from New York, when they’re actually from Cleveland. Ohio doesn’t get any credit. At least Brian K. Vaughn is spreading some light on the mistake by the lake.
