Excuse us as we take a brief (well, one day isn't exactly brief, is it?) pause to plug something Bat-related — and rather 1966-ish, too.
Chip Kidd is a noted designer, with a slew of great book jackets — along with novels and all sorts of other nifty stuff — to prove it. But he's also a Batfan's Batfan, responsible for a number of great Bat-books that you should all own. Batman Collected, for one.
Back in October, his Bat-Manga! The Secret History Of Batman In Japan came out. It's a great thing, covering the nutty Batman comics that were created in Japan. Turns out, the Japanese were just as Bat-crazy as we were back in 1966, and their Batman duked it out with dinosaurs and all sorts of whacky stuff.
AIGA Raleigh is bringing him to town for a lecture — and he'll be signing copies of his book or anything else you wanna drag in.
