Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Encyclopedia
This book has it all! I got it for my husband for Father's Day (he got it early though) and he loved it. It has everything you want to know about all the DC characters.



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - This looks like a job for EDITORMAN!

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Not just for comic book fans
I will begin by saying that I am not a comic book reader but after reading this book, I'm considering taking it up. I wanted this book because I am a fan of the animated TV shows featuring heroes from the DC comics (i.e. Batman TAS, Justice Leage, Justice League Unlimited). I wanted to learn more about all of these characters that I had grown fond of, so I asked for this book for Christmas & got it.

The hardcover is fairly large. It features heroes & villains in alphabetical order. ... Read More
