Chip Kidd is currently associate art director at Knopf, an imprint of Random House. He first joined the team in 1986. Kidd is a fan of comic book media, particularly Batman, and has written and designed book covers for several DC Comics publications, including The Complete History of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman, The Golden Age of DC Comics: 365 Days, and the aforementioned Jack cole and Plastic Man.
He has also written two novels. His first novel was The Chees Monkeys, and then The Learners. It was announced at New York Comic-Con 2011 that Kidd would be writing Batman: Death by Design, an original graphic novel.
Interesting to make the connection between classic comic art and graphic design... good...
