A divided Mars and an unusual partnership

On a Mars split between artistic Plutonium City and bureaucratic Velo City, the story pairs HR Watson, a wealthy industrialist’s sheltered daughter, with THB, a bodyguard whose form can grow from a small rubber ball into a nine-foot humanoid when splashed with water. Their relationship begins with HR treating him as a novelty; danger from her father’s enemies puts his abilities in a different light. This volume gathers Paul Pope’s science-fiction graphic novel in a remastered edition, with exclusive new material, setting up a world shaped by sharply contrasting cities and a companion whose capabilities are bound up in his strange physical transformation.

Book overview

Discover the indie sci-fi epic that broke new ground in graphic novels with Total THB, Volume 1.

Mars is a planet divided. In the north, the bohemian Plutonium City teems with music and art. In the south, the people of Velo City are stifled by the ever-tightening grip of an oppressive bureaucracy. And it is in Velo City that we find HR Watson, the sheltered daughter of a wealthy industrialist, and THB, her loyal but enigmatic bodyguard, who can expand from a tiny rubber ball to a nine-foot-tall humanoid with just a splash of water. To HR, THB is a novelty--a strange new toy of dubious value. But when she finds herself in the crosshairs of her father's enemies, HR will quickly discover the true extent of THB's power.

Over thirty years since its debut, the world of THB continues to inspire loyal readership and critical acclaim. Now for the first time, New York Times-bestselling author and Eisner Award-winner Paul Pope's sprawling, self-published vision is gathered in three definitive editions, featuring remastered original art and exclusive new material.
