Batman: A Visual History: Includes 2 Exclusive Prints : Manning, Matthew K., Forbeck, Matt: desertcart.in: Books Review: Bat Fans, you most definitely HAVE to add this one to your collection, or like myself, buy it so you can start one. I own an abundance of the comics, but after reading this, I realized I am not as schooled on Batman as I thought. Not that I know it all, but considering just how much information is presented here, it is both awesome while leaving you awestruck. From 1939 to 2014, the information is quite detailed and it is fascinating to understand how, from small beginnings as a comic strip originally entitled Bat-Man, the removal of the hyphen would signal a change that Batman would never be the same. This book is big, really big, and gives us something I did not expect. Here on desertcart, the images shown to be the front and back of the book actually are not images for the book, rather the large case that holds the book. The two combined bring a weight a little over 6 pounds, so know you will not get through this read quickly, and neither should you want to do so. The artwork of Jason Fabok is stellar, as always, and the exclusive prints are illustrated by him, as well. The first print is the actual cover to the book, and the second shows the case images as a solid piece, with 4 snapshots of a young Bruce Wayne after his parents were killed, Joker, Batman & Catwoman, and Apokolips battling Batman. Perhaps the only gripe about this visual history is the size of the font when reading the caption of the comic books listed about Batman's history. Maybe making the book a half inch taller would have benefited those of us may not wear glasses, but can struggle at times with fonts this size. The binding is tight, and gives just enough to allow for page turning that should not weaken the spine of the book. 75 years, that's a lot to cover on any topic, but if you are reading this, then you have surely determined Batman is well worth it. I encourage you to stop waiting & start paying. 5 stars. No diggity, no doubt. Review: Sons Christmas socking filler he loves it!

Il libro in Inglese ripercorre di anno in anno la storia del Giustiziere Macherato dalla sua prima comparsa in Detective Comics #27. La struttura del libro è molto semplice: per ogni anno di Batman (a partire dall'uscita nel 1939) viene introdotto in un breve riassunto il periodo, i nuovi personaggi e gadget introdotti etc e poi tramite la copertine più celebri dell'anno tracciata una storia generale dell'eroe. Il libro è sia per neofiti che per collezionisti ma sembra più orientato verso i primi (la qualità di informazioni è poca paragonata alla mole di dati: il percorso finisce con il 2013/4). Ho trovato molto interessante questo libro perché offre alcuni fan facts che non conoscevo ed è un ottimo modo per avvicinarsi alla storia di Batman. Ovviamente solo per fan del personaggio.
