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!

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!!!

Good but not "definitive"
This book is a great overview of most of the characters in the DC universe. However, you wont find every single character in there, and alot of the entries are very brief. Read more
