A Masterpiece For Sure,
By A Customer
This review is from: Batman Masterpieces: Portraits of the Dark Knight and His World (Hardcover)
The artwork in the book is astounding and the story is riveting - even better than some Batman comic books I've read. It's a reflection the Dark Knight's universe as a whole with an intricate storyline that you'd think wasn't possible for a set of trading cards. I recommend this for anyone interested in Batman, great art, an interesting story, or any combination of the above.
4.0 out of 5 stars

This review is from: Batman Masterpieces: Portraits of the Dark Knight and His World (Paperback)
With book could stand alone simply on visuals. But there's also a story to string together these painting from the popluar trading card set. And then they have the writer & artists giving their plans/opinions/methods on every single painting. I was very pleased with this book especially with the some of the low used amazon prices.
