Comic book collector, superhero aficionado, and novelist
Chip Kidd, who pays his rent designing book covers, mostly for the House of Knopf, is the subject of the new mid-career retrospective
Chip Kidd: Book One: Work: 1986-2006. In addition to a remarkable assemblage of book covers of bestsellers and literary masterpieces (sometimes one and the same), there is an introduction by John Updike, commentary from an array of authors, Cheep's life story, and much more. Very cool.
