by (W) Ben Katchor
From one of the most original and imaginative American cartoonists at work today comes a collection of graphic narratives on the subjects of urban planning, product design, and architecture—a surrealist handbook for the rebuilding of society in the twenty-first century.Ben Katchor, a master at twisting mundane commodities into surreal objects of social significance, now takes on the many ways our property influences and reflects cultural values. Here are window-ledge pillows designed expressly for people-watching and a forest of artificial trees for sufferers of hay fever. The Brotherhood of Immaculate Consumption deals with the matter of products that outlive their owners; a school of dance is based upon the choreographic motion of paying with cash; high-visibility construction vests are marketed to lonely people as a method of getting noticed. With cutting wit Katchor reveals a world similar to our own—lives are defined by possessions, consumerism is a kind of spirituality—but also slightly, fabulously askew. Frequently and brilliantly bizarre, and always mesmerizing, Hand-Drying in America ensures that you will never look at a building, a bar of soap, or an ATM the same way.WITH BEAUTIFUL FULL-COLOR ILLUSTRATIONS THROUGHOUT

BEN KATCHOR is the author of The Cardboard Valise, The Jew of New York; Julius Knipl, Real Estate Photographer: The Beauty Supply District; and several works of musical theater with the composer Mark Mulcahy. He teaches at Parsons The New School for Design and has contributed to The New Yorker, The Forward, and Metropolis. The first cartoonist to receive a MacArthur Fellowship, he is the subject of the documentary The Pleasures of Urban Decay. He lives in New York.

BENBELLA BOOKS

The Avengers are the ultimate team, showing that the hardest tasks can be accomplished with the help of others and that working together takes setting aside otherworldly egos for the good of the common goal (looking at you, Tony Stark). In life, difficult decisions come with a price, even if you're Spider-Man. Peter Parker shows that, whether your choice was right or wrong, it's how you take responsibility that's important. As She-Hulk, Jennifer Walters definitely knows what it takes to win a fight. As helpful as brute strength can be, it's rational thinking and determination that help you triumph in the end. Whether in laughter or grieving, birth, or rebirth, we can all learn a thing or two about how to live heroically from the beloved and beleaguered heroes of Marvel Comics-no Vibranium shield or Asgardian hammer necessary.

RANDOM HOUSE WORLDS

Batman and Gotham City face a mysterious new threat in this direct sequel to Tim Burton's iconic Batman. The Joker is dead, but not forgotten. Gotham City is saved, but it is still not safe. By night, its new symbol of hope, Batman, continues his fight to protect the innocent and the powerless. By day, his alter ego, Bruce Wayne, wonders whether there may someday be a future beyond skulking the city's rooftops or the cavernous halls of his stately manor alongside the ever-dutiful Alfred Pennyworth. But even after death, the Clown Prince of Crime's imprint can be seen in more than just the pavement. Remnants from The Joker's gang are leading wannabes fascinated by his bizarre mystique on a campaign of arson that threatens the city-even as it serves greedy opportunists, including millionaire Max Shreck. And survivors of exposure to The Joker's chemical weapon Smylex continue to crowd Gotham City's main hospital. Batman finds the forces of evil growing ever more organized-and orchestrated-by a sinister hand behind the scenes. The World's Greatest Detective must solve the greatest mystery of all: Could The Joker have somehow survived? And could he still have the last laugh against the people of Gotham City?

How did Tinker Bell get her name? In J. M. Barrie's original version of the play Peter Pan, the little sprite's name was Tippytoe, and she had speaking lines. But over time, Barrie decided that the fairy's expressions would be best voiced by musical chimes. Now, more than a hundred years later, it is difficult to believe that this popular pixie began as a circle of lamplight, reflected in a mirror controlled by a stage hand behind the curtains. Tinker Bell: An Evolution is a full biography of the fiery little fairy. The book is heavily illustrated, highly detailed, and will make the perfect gift for every grown-up who believes in fairies.
