In 1966, during the height of the first Batman craze, a weekly Japanese manga anthology for boys, Shonen King, licensed the rights to commission its own Batman and Robin stories. A year later, the stories stopped. Now, in this gorgeously produced book, hundreds of pages of Batman-manga comics more than four decades old are translated for the first time, appearing alongside stunning photographs of the world's most comprehensive collection of vintage Japanese Batman toys. This is the Dynamic Duo as you've never seen them: with a distinctly Japanese, atomic-age twist as they battle aliens, mutated dinosaurs, and villains who won't stay dead! [Edited by Chip Kidd; Translated by Anne Ishii]
In this new, original graphic novel from superstar writer/designer Chip Kidd and artist Dave Taylor, Gotham City is undergoing one of the most expansive construction booms in its history. The most prestigious architects from across the globe have buildings in various phases of completion all over town. As chairman of the Gotham Landmarks Commission, Bruce Wayne has been a key part of this boom, which signals a golden age of architectural ingenuity for the city. And then, the explosions begin. All manner of design-related malfunctions - faulty crane calculations, sturdy materials suddenly collapsing, software glitches, walkways giving way and more - cause casualties across the city. This bizarre string of seemingly random catastrophes threatens to bring down the whole construction industry. Fingers are pointed as Batman must somehow solve the problem and find whoever is behind it all. [(W) Chip Kidd (A/CA) Dave Taylor]

(W) Alan Moore Alan Moore's only novel, now available in paperback, with an introduction by Neil Gaiman, a signature of full-color plates by José Villarrubia, and a cover design by Chip Kidd! In a story full of lust, madness, and ecstasy, we meet twelve distinctive characters that lived in the same region of central England over the span of six thousand years. Their narratives are woven together in patterns of recurring events, strange traditions and uncanny visions. First, a cave-boy loses his mother, falls in love and learns a deadly lesson. He is followed by an extraordinary cast of characters: a murderess who impersonates her victim, a Roman emissary who realizes the bitter truth about the Empire, a crippled nun who is healed miraculously by a disturbing apparition, two witches, lovers, who burn at the stake, and many more. Through each tale, Moore travels through history blending truth and conjecture, in a novel that is dazzling, moving, sometimes tragic, but always mesmerizing.
Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's graphic novel Watchmen is one of the best-selling graphics novels ever, and it has stayed continuously in print since its release in 1987. Artist Dave Gibbons presents his unique perspective on the creation of this seminal work in Watching the Watchmen, the definitive companion to Watchmen. From concept art to excised pages, from early script extracts to character designs and rare portfolio art, Watching the Watchmen will give readers new insights into the work that Time Magazine acclaimed as one of the 100 best English-language novels published since 1923. Both a major art book and a companion to the graphic novel, Watching the Watchmen will change how you experience Watchmen! [Dave Gibbons, Chip Kidd & Mike Essl.]
