This book features original comic book artwork that depicts DC Comics' most significant characters and artists, in a tribute that showcases both pop culture favorites and lesser-known classics during DC's "Golden Age" from approximately 1938-1955. Comics historian Les Daniels, graphic designer Chip Kidd, and photographer Geoff Spear have delved deep into the DC archives, to which they were granted unprecedented access, highlighting not only the classics that have become pop-culture icons but also lost gems like More Fun Comics and Comics Cavalcade. The 365 images, shot especially for this book, along with the impeccably researched text and informative introductory essays, ensure that this blast from the past will have a huge appeal for both comic-book devotees and newcomers.
