[Hob]

Ouais vraiment superbe !!!
Batman est encore bien gâté

[blazman]

par contre c est qui Chipp Kid ?

[FredGri]

Ben je gardais de lui l'image d'un auteur designer avec des tas de couv et de maquettes à son actif (il avait d'ailleurs été l'éditeur/concepteur du livre sur Charles Schulz (The art of M. Shultz)), je crois qu'il a écrit un ou deux livres. Ça m'épate de le retrouver en tant que scénariste sur ce GN

Je pensais pas le prendre, mais au vu de cette preview je viens de le précommander

Chip Kidd is a writer and graphic designer who lives and works in New York City. Since 1986 his book jacket designs for Alfred A. Knopf have helped spawn a revolution in the art of American book packaging. His work has been profiled in such publications as Vanity Fair, Entertainment Weekly, The New Republic, Time, The New York Times, USA Today, Newsweek, Out, and New York magazine. Kidd has written about graphic design and popular culture for McSweeney's, Vogue, Details, Arena, 2WICE, the New York Post, ID, and Print magazines. His books include Batman Collected (Bulfinch, 1996), Batman Animated (HarperCollins, fall 1998), The Cheese Monkeys (Scribner, 2001)—perhaps the first successful novel employing graphic design as an integral part of its subject—and Peanuts: The Art of Charles M. Schulz (Pantheon, 2001). As an editor of books of comics for Pantheon, Kidd has worked extensively with some of the most brilliant talents practicing today, including Chris Ware, Art Spiegelman, Dan Clowes, Kim Deitch, Charles Burns, Mark Beyer, Ben Katchor, and Alex Ross. His designs have been described as monstrously ugly (John Updike), apparently obvious (William Boyd), faithful flat-earth rendering (Don DeLillo), surprisingly elegant (A.S. Mehta), a distinguished parochial comic balding Episcopal priest (Allan Gurganus), two colors plus a sash (Martin Amis), and not a piece of hype. My book was lucky. (Robert Hughes). The monograph CHIP KIDD: BOOK ONE was published by Rizzoli International in 2005.

Sinon petite parenthèse...les festivaliers du LCF en 2009 savaient que Dave Taylor travaillait sur ce projet.
