Reviews
"The artwork by Balez (Le chanteur sans nom) is stunning, not only in the intricate cityscapes but in the complementary blue-orange color palate. Christin never lets the biography stay too long in a single narrative mode, moving back and forth from exposition to dialogue. Nor does the book skirt some of the more troubling aspects of Moses' attitudes toward urban renewal. It's a gorgeous primer in the history of New York's urban planning." —Publishers Weekly "The Power Broker himself gets the European graphic biography treatment in this richly produced translated edition from Nobrow (even the ink smells sumptuous). There's something to be said for Christin and Balez's strategy: keep the story spare, and let the visual impact of skylines, architectural details, and bird's-eye panoramas speak for themselves…great for New York-ophiles, comics lovers and architects alike." —Greenlight Bookstore "In Robert Moses, The Master Builder of New York City (Nobrow, £15.99), Pierre Christin and Olivier Balez chronicle this almost Randian figure in architecture and urban planning, who was driven to re-shape New York into his global vision. But some of his colossal proposals would overstep the mark, such as the 10-lane Lower Manhattan Expressway, successfully opposed by activist Jane Jacobs. Christin and Balez note that while Jacobs is commemorated with a day in her honour, Moses's name remains obscure to many; their insightful portrait should help to correct that." —Paul Gravett, The Independent "The book does a great job of capturing just how much of a visionary Moses was. The luscious artwork shows the scale of his works, and a stylised retro aesthetic and slightly dulled grittiness to the colour perfectly capture both the character of New York and, latterly, the transformation of the city over time. Particularly impressive are the panoramic views that occur throughout the book; whether they are of the entire city or focusing on specific buildings, these are effectively used throughout and impress on the reader the grandeur of the city and of Moses's works. […] Robert Moses: Master Builder of New York is a fine book." —Quadrapheme "Balez pages force you to linger. They don't weigh you down and cause the narrative to outpace you; they allow you to take in story at a pace more appropriate to the story. […] Balez' pages are worthy of the attention they demand you give them. […] His art, in both its panel-to-panel syntax and its aesthetic, is perfectly suited to the story of Robert Moses. […] The book, fortunately, avoids becoming hagiography and paints a fairly nuanced picture of someone who is largely considered a polarizing figure." —This Is Infamous, "The artwork by Balez (Le chanteur sans nom) is stunning, not only in the intricate cityscapes but in the complementary blue-orange color palate.

The book works well as a graphic novel, using the techniques of the comics medium adroitly to present a work that is more than a simple recitation of facts. If you care about cities, history, or smartly built biographical comics, Robert Moses: the Master Builder of New York City is a terrific read." —Comics Bulletin "Fittingly for a book on the life of a master builder, Moses has the exquisite flow and airy linework of an art deco architecture sketch...Ultimately, Robert Moses continues Nobrow's impeccable devotion to well-designed and presented works with fresh perspectives." —Loser City "The art is absolutely magnificent. For all of the (justified) complaints about Moses, he did build some miraculous public works, which are illustrated carefully and lovingly here." -Topless Robot "Robert Moses is an excellent example of why the comics format excels in presenting biography, giving you snapshots of life while picking key moments" to guide you through an intricate narrative." —Hannah Means Shannon, Bleeding Cool, "The artwork by Balez (Le chanteur sans nom) is stunning, not only in the intricate cityscapes but in the complementary blue-orange color palate.
