From Comic Buzz:
Co-edited by veteran comix creators Dean Haspiel and Doug Latino, this vibrant collection brings together a wildly eclectic mix of legendary and emerging voices, including New Yorker cartoonists, MAD contributors, and American Splendor collaborators. Storytellers hail from across comix, comics, graphic novels, literature, art, film, and music, each offering their own take on the city that never sleeps–humorous, heartbreaking, surreal or unmistakably true–capturing the everyday chaos and accidental poetry of New York life.
“Being able to present a project like this is an amazing honor for an independent publisher like myself” says Cosmic Lion Publisher Eli Schwab. “Honoring NYC, a place that has meant so much to the history of my family and my career, and to do it with one of the greatest comic rosters ever. It’s unfathomable. It’s an honor and a privilege to work with Dean and Doug and it’s an honor to be able to help these stories get told. In NYC, there’s one around every corner!”
