DK DC Comics Cover Art: 350 of the Greatest Covers in DC's History

Grandson loved

I wouldn't exactly call this the greatest covers or the most interesting. I've seen much more interesting covers than the ones used in this book. It's not to say that they're bad or anything, but hardly the greatest. These covers were clearly chosen for a specific reason; a character was introduced (either the title character or a new foe), or a marriage was taking place (normally with a fake-out cover), a character was killed off or some kind of crossover event was happening.It's not difficult to see that the more popular character's have the most covers throughout the book, with Batman easily having the lion's share. This is followed by Superman, Green Lantern and Wonder Woman. Personally, I would have liked to have seen an equal divide with the covers - not just favourites.Unfortunately, the artwork is hardly shown in the best light due to multiple sizes used. Some covers are page sized, some are half page, some are a quarter size, and then some are ridiculously small. This makes it difficult seeing any great detail in some of the covers. There's a lot of wasted space throughout the pages with a bit of text that accompanies each photo. Personally, I think this was poor design planning on the part of DC. Surely they could have come up with something much better than this.Except for a few talented artists during the Steel Age (1986-2010), but mostly during the Modern Age (2011 - Present) it's not difficult to see that the majority of the cover art looks as though it was done by group of ten year old children, especially in comparison to older covers. It's an embarrassment to see just how much the artwork has de-evolved.Overall, this book is still alright for anyone who's interested in DC covers art.

I got one book with covers from Marvel and I liked it so much. This one was something I asked for some time ago. This one is smaller and thinner, but the quality is acceptable. I cannot understand why "the dark knight returns" cover appears with such a tiny size... The editors has something against Frank Miller?

As someone who has been reading DC titles for over 40 years, it was great seeing so many covers from the different decades of following DC Titles.The book quality is excellent and the same goes for the content. I'm sure there will be plenty of disagreement on what constitutes the best DC covers ever, but this is pretty close and most of my favourites featured.

Wow what an amazing book. Bought it for a gift for a major collector and the quality of this was outstanding.. he loved it
