THB (comics)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

THB is a fictional comic book series by Paul Pope.

A sci-fi story set on Mars in the future, THB features the adventures of HR Watson, a teenage girl, and her super-powered bodyguard, THB (whose name stands for Tri-Hydro Bi-Oxygenate, a fictional molecule created by Pope). THB resembles a small rubber ball carried around by HR Watson, but when activated with water, expands to take the form of a seven-foot (215 cm) super-powered man.

Pope published issue one of THB in 1995 during a new wave of black and white independent comic books that included Bone, Hepcats, and Starchild. Pope has sporadically published issues of THB with the latest issue, THB: Comics From Mars #1 published by AdHouse Books as an exclusive to the 2007 San Diego Comicon. The series remains unfinished.
