...York is more than a city of concrete and steel. It?s also a kind of a dream metropolis, a place constructed of celluloid and ink, videotape and song. It?s hard to think about New York without thinking about the work of the various artists who have, over the decades, rebuilt the city in their work, from Herman Melville to Ralph Ellison to Jay McInerney, from the songwriters of Tin Pan Alley to current-day Big Apple hip-hoppers like Nas and Jay-Z.

Beautifully printed using a brick-colored ink on soft, matte, off-white paper, the lines are razor sharp. Some contributors also use a single highlight color of pink or blue or yellow. The mono-named Jason begins the book with a simply-drawn parable of death as a lonely houseguest whose hosts keep dying. Following that are a variety of humorous, often open-ended stories by Brian Biggs, Megan Kelso, Paul Pope and about twenty others. Each of the smaller books contains...
