If you’ve been curious about Robert Moses but put off by the sheer heft of volumes like The Power Broker, a forthcoming comic book rendering of the master builder’s reign is a fun new option. The book, titled Robert Moses, comes from a long French tradition of giving traditionally serious subjects the comic treatment. Author Pierre Christin and illustrator Olivier Balez bring Moses’s New York to life, painting a world that, according to Andy Newman at the Times, is “lushly nostalgic sepia-toned colors: the bridges and beaches and pools and parkways, the clubby back rooms where deals were done, the Batman-worthy lair on Randall’s Island where he plotted his campaigns.”
