From: Amazon Posted: Jun 16, 2008 Type: User Review Brings the DC Universe to Life

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...

This is a great product for any DC fan. The only issue that may be had is a desire for more. Many less well known and darker characters are left out, also seemingly no character within Vertigo are present. Still a great buy.

I got this book as a gift to an avid comic book fan. He says that although there may be a character or two missing, the book was well done and pretty much accurate. For newbie collectors, this is really informative.

A must have for any comic book/superhero fan. Along with the Marvel Encyclopedia gives you details & a over-view of characters & plot lines. Very good read.
