LIBRARY JOURNAL -- This masterpiece from ingenious artist Pope
(Escapo) returns to print 20 years after its initial release in an
updated edition featuring revised colors, page design, and original
illustrations. The Stooge, better known as S, is a former policeman
who specializes in dealing Heavy Liquid, a mysterious and volatile
substance that doubles as a powerful narcotic when specially
prepared. Reeling from a deal gone awry, S agrees to help a
fabulously wealthy art collector track down a reclusive artist he
hopes to commission to create the world's first sculpture cast in
Heavy Liquid. Before long, S is caught between a gang of murderous
teenage girls and a trio of vicious masked criminals, face-to-face
with a little girl who dresses like a pirate and controls an army
of powerful robots, and on a collision course with more than one
figure from his own shadowy past.
VERDICT Drawing inspiration from noir films, cyberpunk, manga, and
the world of high fashion, this work has a influenced an entire
generation of cartoonists but remarkably still feels fresh
today
