Описание: 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 suddently collapsing, software glitches, walkways giving way and much more-cause casualties across the city. This bizarre string of seemingly random, unconnected catastrophes threaten to bring the whole construction industry down. Fingers are pointed as Batman must somehow solve the problem and find whoever is behind it all.

Описание: From the author of "The Official Preppy Handbook "comes a new take on the old world that Lisa Birnbach turned into an international best-selling phenomenon thirty years ago.
"
True Prep "looks at how the old guard of natural-fiber-loving, dog-worshipping, G&T-soaked preppies adapts to the new order of the Internet, cell phones, rehab, political correctness, reality TV and . . . polar fleece.
A small sample:
- Wardrobe: Recent prep brands we are forced to recognize. How to tell Casual Friday from, say, Saturday.
- Money: We never talk about it.
- Food: Does the Food Network mean we're going to have to cook? Bake? Now you're going too far.
- Scandals: Poor Mrs. Astor. When Mummy's plastic surgery goes terribly wrong. Rehab and the slammer: the new prep schools.
- We're outta here: When to name something after yourself, and when not. The right obituary. What to do with your dogs if you predecease them.
- NO TEXTING AT THE TABLE, PLEASE.
"True Prep "promises to be a whole new old sensation.

Описание: The two hottest genres in comics gleefully collide head-on, as the most beloved American superhero gets the coolest Japanese manga makeover ever.
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. They were never collected in Japan, and never translated into English. 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. And as a bonus: Jiro Kuwata, the manga master who originally wrote and drew this material, has given an exclusive interview for our book.
More than just a dazzling novelty, "Bat-Manga " is an invaluable, long-lost chapter in the history of one of the most beloved and timeless figures in comics."
