Chip Kidd

El desfile de sospechosos sera incesante... Y entre ellos figurara una experta en urbanismo, Cyndia Syl, ademas del Joker y el villano llamado Exacto. Todos se veran las caras en algunos de los mas emblematicos edificios de la ciudad... antes de que se vengan abajo con casi total certeza.Batman: Arquitectura mortal es una trepidante historia escrita por el veterano y galardonado diseñador Chip Kidd, de dilatada experiencia en DC Comics, e ilustrada al completo por Dave Taylor, que plasma en sus paginas uno de los mas certeros y visualmente impactantes homenajes que se recuerdan a los primeros tiempos del Caballero Oscuro. El resultado posee una atmosfera que evoca directamente la Edad de Oro del comic norteamericano, la epoca que vio nacer al legendario personaje creado por Bob Kane, y a la vez un estilo narrativo del agrado de cualquier lector actual.
