His artwork looks like what "an Elvis 45 played on a hi-fi with your finger" would sound like. Even though he has two previous comics novels under his belt (<i>Sin Titulo</i> and <i>The Ballad of Dr. Richardson</i>) and pages upon pages of work finished for his Japanese publisher, <i>The One Trick Rip-Off</i> is his first novel that is widely available in English. Two young lovers, Tubby and Vim, want to escape--escape the mistakes they've made, the lives they've lived, and the city that weighs them down. All they have to do is rip off the One Tricks, the toughest street gang in Los Angeles. <i>The One Trick Rip-Off</i> is infused with pure Paul Pope: Indian food, wildly romantic ideals, a sweaty young girl. If you like the moody, darkly romantic music of Nick Cave, you'll groove to <i>The One Trick Rip-Off</i>. 862589 15 5 1997 The One Trick Rip-off total:53|5:7|4:14|3:25|2:5|1:2| 53 178 59 4 3 0 false false Fri Jan 04 10:25:58 -0800 2008 Fri Jan 04 12:39:15 -0800 2008 more...]]> 3 0 false false Thu Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 2004 Thu Oct 18 15:53:26 -0700 2007 Thu Oct 18 15:54:58 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Wed Aug 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 11:00:36 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 11:02:02 -0700 2007 5 0 false false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2000 Sun Sep 07 14:53:40 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 07 14:54:01 -0700 2008 0 0 false false Mon Nov 30 09:37:22 -0800 2009 Mon Nov 30 09:37:22 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Sun Nov 08 21:50:40 -0800 2009 Sun Nov 08 21:50:40 -0800 2009 4 0 false false Thu Aug 13 11:52:39 -0700 2009 Thu Aug 13 11:52:39 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Fri Jul 24 06:33:01 -0700 2009 Fri Jul 24 06:33:16 -0700 2009 3 0 false false Wed Jul 22 18:57:18 -0700 2009 Wed Jul 22 18:57:18 -0700 2009 5 0 false false Tue Jul 07 01:11:24 -0700 2009 Tue Jul 07 01:11:24 -0700 2009 4 0 false false Tue May 26 17:01:33 -0700 2009 Tue May 26 17:01:33 -0700 2009 1 0 false false Mon Feb 02 10:23:43 -0800 2009 Mon Feb 02 10:23:43 -0800 2009 0 0 false false Fri Jan 30 23:14:41 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 30 23:14:41 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jan 13 00:47:15 -0800 2009 Tue Jan 13 00:47:15 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Sun Jan 11 16:10:52 -0800 2009 Sun Jan 11 16:10:52 -0800 2009 3 0 false false Tue Jul 01 00:00:00 -0700 1997 Mon Nov 10 17:04:38 -0800 2008 Mon Nov 10 17:04:59 -0800 2008 3 0 false false Thu Oct 16 05:53:51 -0700 2008 Thu Oct 16 05:53:51 -0700 2008 3 0 false false Mon Oct 13 15:02:29 -0700 2008 Mon Oct 13 15:02:29 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Wed Sep 17 11:01:15 -0700 2008 Wed Sep 17 11:01:15 -0700 2008 4 0 false false Thu Aug 28 23:03:50 -0700 2008 Thu Aug 28 23:03:50 -0700 2008 http://www.goodreads.com/book_link/follow/8?book_id=877261
