- Histories' Miss-stories!
I bought this book, after I glanced at it quickly, thinking I would really enjoy it. After buying it and then sitting down with it, I quickly realized how much DC Comics history was quickly skipped over or ignored all together. Many, many events, locales, and characters are completely dismissed and golden age (1938-1958) events, etc., are pretty much rejected in place of more updated revamped characters. Not really what I was looking for in the way of a DC Comics Encyclopedia. It's full of color and nice artwork friends, but lacks in the substance category.

Do yourselves a favor...purchase some DC Archives and really enjoy the history for yourself.

- Must have!
If you're into comics you deserve this "document" on DC characters.
I recommend it!

- Awesome information
I really didn't know what to expect when I bought this book. It was just something to help me figure out who some of the characters were in the DC universe. What I found was a history of EVERY character DC has ever created! There were some really obscure characters in there dating back to the 1940s that I had never even heard of.

If you're into DC comics, it's well worth the price. I know I've had hours of fun reading the different entries on not only the characters I knew but many I didn't.

This is true meaning of an encyclopedia because this book has every person you either knew are never heard of in the book. I have the Marvel Encyclopedia and they are good book but it they don't compare to this one. I would recommend this book to anyone of likes or loves comics.
