Useful and informative
|
Including hundreds of heroes and villains from the DC Universe as well as short entries for important places, events and equipment, the DC Comics Encyclopaedia is a book that would be useful for both those new to DC's comics as well as those who have read them for years.
Having been published in 2004 this book is currently somewhat out of date but this is only to be expected with a book focussing on something with an ever expanding universe. As someone relatively new to the world of DC I have found this book invaluable as a place to look for information on characters that I come across who I know little to nothing about. Many of the entries in this book are rather short but they are all informative including a brief biography and a picture of the character detailed. The book could do with some proof reading in places but overall this is a well researched and informative encyclopaedia.

The best present money can buy, for a comic book fan!
|
|
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!

It's an encyclopedia.
|
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!!!
