4.0 out of 5 stars It's an encyclopedia., 8 Jun 2005
By A Customer
This review is from: The DC Comics Encyclopedia (Hardcover)
This book is exactly what it claims to be..it's an a-z list of every character that's ever been featured in a DC comic.
The artwork is great and it's nice to see who did what and to who and if they are still alive or not.
It's funny to see how 'corny' DC are compared to marvel, but that's half the fun!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hubby is very happy!, 5 Nov 2008
I bought this book for my husband who is a comic fan. As soon as he opened it I knew he loved it. I was very impressed with the colours, information and pictures. Its going to take him months to get through it but its one of the best presents i have ever got him and highly recommend it. I spent a long time trying to decide on the best book and this is it!
