Has anybody picked this book up yet? I believe it came out yesterday, and while I'm no fan of manga I am a fan of Batman in his various incarnations, especially the pop-art 60's version. My interest is more in the design of the character of that era rather than the content or tone of the stories. This book uncovers a totally hidden aspect of Batman, and may be the coolest Batman book of the year. Apparently the hardcover is 'limited' to 7000 copies, but all are signed by designer Chip Kidd, and according to his website, all are spoken for. I was able to snag one at the local Borders with a 25% off coupon that was in my email this morning. Aside from the Kidd sig, it also has a whole section of content that's not in the paperback edition. An amazing book with some of the weirdest Batman stories ever. One for these boards, to be sure!!! Here's a link to a guy that agrees with this assessment with pix!
