| 11. |  | Becoming Batman: The Possibility of a Superhero
from The Johns Hopkins University Press
Price: $17.79
Customer Review:
...a whole lot you don't! I almost gave this book three stars due to it being (slightly) disappointingly dry, but added the extra one just for the sheer AMOUNT of detail in the book.
Really, it is too much, though. Admittedly, I haven't read it from cover to cover yet, but then again, I don't... more info | 4.0 / 5.0

Customer Review:
WOW!
I am a middle school teacher in Crockett CA. I have taught science, language arts, reading and history over the past five years. Science has always been my favorite subject, and my passion, and this book is part of that passion for learning and understanding. Now I am an 8th grade science... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 13. |  | Strange and Stranger: The World of Steve Ditko
from Fantagraphics Books
Price: $26.39
Customer Review:
Blake Bell has put together a wonderful book about one of the most interesting figures in modern pop culture history. I was worried STRANGE AND STRANGER might come across as too biased on Ditko's side of history but it certainly does not. I understand a lot more about Ditko but I also have many more... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 14. |  | The United States Constitution: A Graphic Adaptation
from Hill and Wang
Price: $23.10
Customer Review:
I'd purchased the graphic novel for the Sept. 11 Commission Report published by the same company and they did a great job of taking tough concepts and making them accessible through images more than words. When I saw they released a graphic novel about the Constitution, I figured it would be in the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

| 16. |  | The Vertigo Encyclopedia
from DK ADULT
Price: $18.00
Customer Review:
History should be preserved. That is both the paradox and challenge of an encyclopedia of a 'present' company. However, Vertigo titles cover an amazing variety of topics, and include a talented mix of artists and writers allowed to flex their creative muscle to an audience that appreciates and... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 18. |  | Telling Stories: The Classic Comic Art of Frank Frazetta
from Underwood Books
Price: $32.97
Customer Review:
I give this 4 stars only because of Frazetta's work inside; I've always preferred his comic work to his more famous paintings. By 1954, no other comic book inker was even fit to clean his brushes!
But why was someone who is obviously not a fan or scholar given the privilege of choosing the... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Even if you've already read the 9/11 report, you'll learn things from this graphic novel account that you likely missed from the textual account.

from Marvel Comics

Customer Review:
Every volume of this hardcover series of Official Handbooks has been great.
