In 2015 artist Kevin Sacco returned to New York City after a period of living in New Jersey. The author of such acclaimed graphic novels as The Pane Story, Joesphine and White Night, re-discovered the wonders, mircales and majesties of the city he had once known as home and to which he was happy to return. Wandering his hometown Sacco captured the rhytms, feel and the sense of wonder that met him at every corner and every park. The drawings in this book reflect on the life he shares with his fellow New Yorkers and captures the essence of the New York state of mind. 

From the creator of the Civil Rights era graphic novel Josephine and the period piece The Plane Story Kevin Sacco brings another look back set in the advertising world of New York. It's a snowy night in the early 1960s and Zeppo Abandando, an advertising copywriter, is searching for his eureka moment for an ad campaign. White Night tells the story of this search, and in the process, Sacco reveals a loving portrait of Zeppo's world-at home, on Madison avenue, and at Harold's Showspot, his favorite bar. Part fiction, part memoir, White Night pays homage to Sacco's real life father, Joe Sacco, telling the story, and through his pitch perfect drawings, Zeppo's search for an aha moment takes on a grander, warmly humanistic meaning.

Grosses Bêtes & Petites Bêtes means Big Beasts and Little Beats. Created, written and illustrated in 1911 by noted wooden toy designer and cartoonist Andre Helle, Grosses Bêtes & Petites Bêtes was intent on being a children's book that taught young people about animals. Perhaps this book was supposed to be read to children by their parents.While Helle's modern style of art was influential and attractive the content of the book itself has, over time, proven to be not as useful. Much of what Helle wrote was based on assumptions and then conventional wisdom that has since then proven to be incorrect. Some of the imagery itself reflects the times in the early 20th century and has some very subtle stereotypes.The art itself is worth preserving and this being the only known English translation of Helle's work is in itself noteworthy.So while Grosses Betes is not the educational, fun children's book it was originally intended to be, it is an beautiful look back at outdated thinking combined with reproductions of a truly modern artist.
