From the subway to the skyscraper, from Manhattan’s financial district to the Long Island suburbs, every inch of New York tells the story of one man’s mind: Robert Moses, the architect who designed it all. Now, in Pierre Christin and Olivier Balez's new graphic biography, the rest of Robert’s story will be told.

''Robert Moses: The Master Builder of New York City'' is a graphic novel written by Pierre Christin, illustrated by Olivier Balez and published by Nobrow.

!!This work provides examples of:

* {{Biopic}}: Of famed American-architect Robert Moses.
* BoomerangBigot: Despite being Jewish himself, Robert outright scoffs at the European-Jewish immigrants in the New York slums, citing that its America's job to acclimate its citizens to the American lifestyle and not the other way around.
* DeliberateValuesDissonance: Despite being a visionary, Robert Moses was still a man of his time. He is outwardly offended by the comparison between himself and the European-Jewish immigrants in the New York slums for their overtly semitic traits. Later in his career, he is accused of being racist since many of his projects are done in minority-heavy districts.
* EntitledBastard: Fitting into the architect stereotype, Robert Moses is portrayed as having a ControlFreak personality, often firing inferiors at the slightest contradiction and downright threatening political officials to sign off on his projects.
* MrAltDisney: Robert Moses outright compares himself to Creator/WaltDisney (who he had met in person), both of them "creating new universes."
