| 2. |  | The Marvel Encyclopedia
from DK ADULT
Price: $26.40
Customer Review:
A great gift for Marvel readers and a coffee table book for Marvel Families. This book brings back memories and provides helpful chronology. In the sixties, Iron Man was yellow, the X-Men were blue and yellow, and Daredevil was black and yellow. Marvel sure liked yellow. | 4.0 / 5.0

| 3. |  | Watching the Watchmen: The Definitive Companion to the Ultimate Graphic Novel
from Titan Books
Price: $26.37
Customer Review:
This item is really great but before I get into this review I am going to describe what this item actually is. It is a very unique thing, as is Watchmen, that is part graphic novel part written documentary and has a very reality based thought process that shows exactly what Alan Moore and Dave... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

from Picador
Price: $10.88
Customer Review:
The controversy over the damage that comic books can do to young impressionable minds in the 1950's is a very important historical counterpoint to know about. This is the age of McCarthy, schools teaching kids to drop and roll in the case of nuclear attack, Russia on the war path, Prague Spring, and... more info | 4.5 / 5.0

Customer Review:
If you are a hard-core Marvel Comics fan, and know your Super Heroes from way back when, then this marvel (excuse the pun!) of a book - which is truly a vault of treasures - will certainly enthrall you!

from Houghton Mifflin
Price: $14.96
Customer Review:
Perhaps it takes a little hubris to call a collection THE BEST AMERICAN COMICS 2008, but it's hard to argue with a grouping this good. Sure, you can quibble here and there, but as a whole, this is about as good as the art form gets, showing the remarkable highs comics can --- and regularly do ---... more info | 5.0 / 5.0

| 8. |  | Bat-Manga!: The Secret History of Batman in Japan
from Pantheon
Price: $37.80
Customer Review:
The good: the manga is drawn top notch, the translation seems solid, and the visuals really hit it out of the park. The choice to go with minimal restoration of the original pages grew on me quite a bit after some initial disappointment with the idea. It turns out that it gives it a very... more info | 5.0 / 5.0
