Contained within the pages of this wonderful book are some of the most iconic and eccentric comic book covers from the past 75 years of DC comics, and seen in this context the wealth of imagination is truly stunning.

Each cover has a critical and social commentary from Robert Schnakenberg and the first appearances of Superman, Batman, The Flash and the other classic DC characters are all here, and a couple of additional covers are shown over the page, often showing how the character has evolved over the years.

From Action Comics #1 to covers for modern classics such as V for Vendetta, The Killing Joke and Y: The Last Man there is something here for every comic book fan. The sheer variety of styles is enough to illustrate how comic books have changed in the last 75 years and you will want to examine and discover every single image, from strange 70s psychedelia to the minimalist Deco inspired Batman covers of the early 21st Century each page turn reveals something wonderful.

A magnificent book and a proud celebration of the artists and writers behind some of most iconic figures of popular culture.
