Cheap Novelties: The Pleasures of Urban Decay #[nn]
Ben Katchor's *Cheap Novelties: The Pleasures of Urban Decay* is a quietly wonderful collection from Drawn & Quarterly that celebrates the overlooked textures of city life. The cover itself sets the mood perfectly — dense columns of vintage newsprint and classified ads surround a bold red title card, evoking the layered, ink-stained atmosphere of an older urban world slipping just out of reach. For anyone drawn to comics that find poetry in the mundane and melancholy in the everyday, this 2016 edition is a genuinely rewarding place to spend some time.
