5.0 out of 5 stars The best present money can buy, for a comic book fan!, 8 Jan 2006
By A Customer
I bought this as a gift for my partner, who is a self-confessed "Comic Book Geek", I wasn't sure if this was going to be a great gift, or a pitiful gift, as he is very particular about what he likes in terms of comics.

Luckily he loved it and now many months on, he still flicks through it nearly every day. It contains everyone from Superman and Wonder Woman down to the very strange, wierd and wonderful "nobodies". Its a very detailed and concise look into the DC universe and I consider it to be the best present I have ever bought anyone.

I would highly recommend this, its a great price and worth every penny!

4.0 out of 5 stars It's an encyclopedia., 8 Jun 2005
By A Customer
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!!!
