1.The DC Comics EncyclopediaThe DC Comics Encyclopedia
from DK ADULT
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:

The job of doing any encyclopedia is daunting, and even more so if you are dealing with a company like DC Comics and a 70 year history. The big question any compiler/contributor has to ask is exactly what time frame do you focus on? With DC, we have had a Crisis, 52, and a slew of important... more info

2.The Marvel EncyclopediaThe Marvel Encyclopedia
from DK ADULT
Price: $26.40

Customer Review:
I got this book for my birthday and I'm really, really glad that I got it. Want to get that out of the way first. As a basic reference source it's excellent as a geeky coffee table book it's pretty much without peer. It's on my desk at work and at least once a day I get into a vigorous debate or... more info

4.Making Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic NovelsMaking Comics: Storytelling Secrets of Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels
from Harper Paperbacks
Price: $15.61

Customer Review:
This is a great tutorial and reference for anyone considering writing a comic book for the first time (or perhaps someone more experienced who'd like to get a fresh perspective and/or deeper understanding of fundamental structure). Scott has taken all those elements that go into making a good comic... more info

5.The Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed AmericaThe Ten-Cent Plague: The Great Comic-Book Scare and How It Changed America
from Farrar, Straus and Giroux
Price: $17.16

Customer Review:
The history of scapegoating in the 20th-century United States is a long one, with public fears about menaces real or imagined directed at alleged causes ranging from drugs to TV to rock and rap music, accompanied by reams of pontificating and propaganda that tend to seem pretty silly in hindsight... more info

6.The 9 11 Report: A Graphic AdaptationThe 9/11 Report: A Graphic Adaptation
from Hill and Wang
Price: $11.53

Customer Review:
At gunpoint you couldn't force me to read the 9/11 Report. What Sid Jacobson and Ernie Colon have graphically done is truly innovative.
Not only does this graphic depiction tell the story, it is historically factual. It sets out all the findings, history, conjectures, failures and... more info

7.Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank FrazettaTelling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta
from Underwood Books
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:
There is a lot of great stuff in here, but there is so much missing! We only get 3 full page pics of the 7 Buck Rogers covers, besides the slipcase cover, which is obscured by a logo and cropped, and a tiny thumb of another one. We get 5 of the 6 Ghost Rider covers, but all are thumbnail size, 3" by... more info

8.The DC Vault: A Museum-in-a-Book with Rare Collectibles from the DC UniverseThe DC Vault: A Museum-in-a-Book with Rare Collectibles from the DC Universe
from Running Press
Price: $32.97

Customer Review:
I like this even more than the Marvel Vault, which came out last year. The DC Vault has better content as far as the history of DC is concerned, starting with More Fun comics and leading up to recent history. Martin Pasko, who many longtime DC fans will remember as a key writer during the 1970s,... more info

from House of Collectibles
Price: $19.77

Customer Review:
This is my first time buying the Overstreet...It's great because the authors realize what a changing investment comics are. So they tell you, 'this isn't the end all guide' but it's the most respected/encompassing guide you'll find. Besides EVERY type of comic, big little books, promotional,... more info

10.Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve DitkoStrange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko
from Fantagraphics Books
Price: $26.39

Customer Review:
I can't claim I was ever a big fan of Steve Ditko, I grew up reading comic books, and of course, I read reprints of his work on Spiderman, but I liked the more realistic work of John Romita (and perhaps, the unrealistically beatiful women he drew). Now I can look at it and see how revolutionary it... more info
