Review from a shopper who 'Loved it'
From: Posted: Dec 10, 2008 Type: User Review Precious

I'm not a die-hard Marvel fans by any means, but I've read my share of their comics when I was younger.
Usually, I've always sticked to mini-series or Graphic novels, well, any story that would begin and end in itself, without me having to...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Nov 03, 2008 Type: User Review Very poor, cheesy and generic new age animation

While this book is somewhat entertaining to flip through, the new style of generic artwork and animation ruins the experience. Gone are the old type illustrations and artwork of these characters from the original artists of the 60's, 70's, 80's...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Sep 08, 2008 Type: User Review Wonderful reference, marred by serious typographical errors

I got this book for my birthday and I'm really, really glad that I got it. Want to get that out of the way first. As a basic reference source it's excellent as a geeky coffee table book it's pretty much without peer. It's on my desk at work and at...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Dec 20, 2006 Type: User Review The Pages Are Too Small

A nice set of books but at just 8.6 by 6.8 inches, the pages could be three or four inches wider, and taller. As is, the strips are quite a bit smaller than actual size. The Sunday strips are especially hard to read. So I'd have to say this is NOT...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Apr 05, 2008 Type: User Review More biography than imagery

I absolutely love 50's (and early 60's) animation styles, so based on the other reviews here I eagerly awaited this book. It was a huge letdown.

First of all, the majority of content here is biographical information about the artists...

From: Posted: Sep 27, 2007 Type: User Review price finder

I'm always looking for the best price. So while looking at the magazine ABC Distributing, I found this book and The Marvel Encyclopeda for only $16.95. So why would Amazon sell these book for a higher price? Even with tax and shipping the cost...

Review from a shopper who was 'On the Fence'
From: Posted: Oct 06, 2007 Type: User Review The DC COmics Encyclopedia

It's hard to determine the worth of a book, but don't judge this book by its cover. Why? Well for starters it is a great A to Z resource of DC characters packed in one book. There is not much else around so this book is fine. It does clearly...

Review from a shopper who 'Hated it'
From: Posted: Sep 08, 2008 Type: User Review the man was strange all right.....

Why he suddently had a change of heart toward comic books in the 1970's, who can tell? But the debate he started over popular culture and the effects on children still goes on to this day and no one will ever find a satisfactory answer for.

I grew up on Daredevil in the 1980's. Miller, Mazzucchelli, Romita Jr. But, being the collector I was, I went back and bought up all the old books as well. Even then, as a young teenager, I was really impressed with the artwork in those old...
