This is one of the best superheroe books ive ever read, very well explained and pictured, recomend it to every Marvel fan. read full review | report as inappropriate
In this age of wikipedia, you need chutzpah to produce a book with "encyclopedia" in the title. This is especially true when your book is as full of errors, typos and omissions as is The Marvel Encyclopedia. I think the omissions... read full review | report as inappropriate
Though the book is imformative, the bios are very limited. There are no scales to properly determine strength and intelligence. Also there are a lot of typos, leading me to believe that they didn't care much when they created this. If you want a... read full review | report as inappropriate

I started reading the Peanuts when I was in elementary school, and followed the strip until its end. When it ended I hoped that Schultz's work would be compiled into a collection, and it was. When I hear Fantagraphics was going to publish all of... read full review | report as inappropriate
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... read full review | report as inappropriate

When my grandparents got me this book, I didn't think it could help me. I was looking for a "How to Draw" not a "How to Write". This book proved me so wrong. I couldn't believe how much fun it was to read, and it helped me a lot too. Almost... read full review | report as inappropriate
I have to agree with a previous reviewer --- Scott is mostly known for his entertaining educational comics series, but he hasn't had any REALLY successful comic books, so, although this new book is interesting and somewhat educational about comic... read full review | report as inappropriate

I am a casual DC Comics fan who was much more into comics in my youth. I bought this encyclopedia because I used to enjoy reading "Who's Who," a series in the 80's that featured biographies of DC characters. The cover art on this is striking, done... read full review | report as inappropriate
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... read full review | report as inappropriate
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... read full review | report as inappropriate

Being born in the early 1960s,I have had lots of DC action figures growing up,this book does not come close to having all the DC action figures.Most of the figures covered in this book are from at best early 1990's.I'm definately thinking about... read full review | report as inappropriate
I'm not sure why I bought this - impulse I guess (darn your targeted marketing Amazon!) Do you really want to know how many stupid versions of Batman Kenner made? Some of the pages include information about the DC Universe, which is nice,... read full review | report as inappropriate

Fantastic book! This book is well written and is amazingly interesting. A must read for anyone interested in 50's design. read full review | report as inappropriate
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... read full review | report as inappropriate

As an engineer I am always drawn to books that attempt to bridge the gap between the theory and application sides of science. This book goes one step further and attempts to draw connections between the known aspects of physics and the abilities... read full review | report as inappropriate
With such an intriguing title (and a recommendation from a tai chi classmate), I had to pick up this book when I saw it in the library. Unfortunately, I'm not really the right audience for it: the ideal reader is familiar with the characters... read full review | report as inappropriate
