Just one book for this thread and it's a biggie (literally). Weighing in at over 13 lbs this enormously entertaining tome will enthrall you while simultaneously giving both your biceps and triceps a workout - don't read this one in the bathtub. This is the original 2010 edition, an 18" tall behemoth that dwarfs the puny 2017 reprint which barely cracked 10 lbs. The slipcase has some dents and wear (see pics) primarily thanks to Amazon not knowing how to package any books, let alone volumes this size, but the book itself is in mint condition. I have also posed the book with a regular size comic (not included) to give an idea of scale.

This amazing book can be yours for only $100 with shipping included! (see fine print above for actual shipping terms)

 

 

The crown jewel in any comics fan’s library

 

In 1935, DC Comics founder Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson published New Fun No. 1, the first comic book with all-new, original material—at a time when comic books were mere repositories for the castoffs of the newspaper strips. What was initially considered to be disposable media for children was well on its way to becoming the mythology of our time—the 20th century’s answer to Atlas or Zorro. More than 40,000 comic books later, in honor of the publisher’s 75th anniversary, TASCHEN has produced the single most comprehensive book on DC Comics, in an XL edition even Superman might have trouble lifting. More than 2,000 images—covers and interiors, original illustrations, photographs, film stills, and collectibles—are reproduced using the latest technology to bring the story lines, the characters, and their creators to vibrant life as they’ve never been seen before. Telling the tales behind the tomes is 38-year DC veteran Paul Levitz, whose in-depth essays trace the company’s history, from its pulp origins through to the future of digital publishing.

 

Year-by-year timelines that fold out to nearly four feet and biographies of the legends who built DC make this an invaluable reference for any comic book fan.

Winner of the 2011 Eisner Comic Industry Award for Best Comics-Related Book of the Year!
