A must have for fans of the lexicon DC universe is this book. Here they are listed ale whether much or little light, Batman, Superman, Joker Lex Luthor to name Great, but who knows the little ones, as Sparx, Gypy or Bulletman? Also they are in here, and indeed every superhero with a drawing and a description that corresponds to the universe in about its importance in DC, that is the big superhero on multiple pages and the smallest in half a column. The whole thing is printed in full color and replete with pictures. State of the presentation is about 2008 say roughly after the Final Crises. The Batman RIP Saga and after is not listed. The book kills almost by the size and thickness. I had somehow imagined small, especially when you see the price. Just under 29 euros are for a real bargain. The only drawback may be that it is too much oriented towards the people. If you want to know about places in the DC universe more or about equipment, then you will not find it so here. Abre after all it is a great book.
