Michael Uslan came by Chip Kidd’s apartment recently. You know they probably geeked-out over “all things Batman”. Here’s what Chip had to say:

“I had the pleasure last night of hosting one my heroes for drinks, legendary Batman movie producer and comic book writer Michael Uslan. I have known him for years and he is one of the brightest and most articulate guys I know, especially about comics and their history. His memoir, “The Boy Who Loved Batman”, is a must-read for fans of the genre.” C.K.
