A valentine to New York and its subway system (the book is licensed by NYC's Metropolitan Transportation Authority), Lost in NYC depicts a school field trip to the Empire State Building, and gives a wealth of info about how to navigate the Big Apple (including a detailed subway map). It rewards attention, in fact perfectly demonstrates the idea that comics are a rereading medium. A short comic in picture book format, but as dense with detail as a graphic novel, Lost in NYC works in busy, hide-and-seek, Where’s Waldo? mode. Lost in NYC is my favorite of the TOON Graphics to date (among the new books, that is-the translations of Fred's Philemon are also a delight).
