The DC encyclopedia of wonders!
I am mad about comics,but only knew about marvel comics and i was desparate to find out about DC.i saw the DC encyclopedia on amazon and i got it for my 12th birthday.I was amazed by all the infomation in it!I have learned a great deal from it and found my new favorite super team,the teen titans.It also includeds many of DC's famous super heros like the flash,wonder woman,batman and superman.It runs down through the alphabet listing the famous and infamous of DC's charicters.It is a must have for comic fans and i strongly recomend it.Excelsior and happy reading!

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!!!

Hubby is very happy!
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!
