I want to say off the bat that, if you are a comic book fan, you can't go wrong with this volume. DC Comics Covergirls serves as an excellent gallery book of - what else? - DC Comics covers of superheroine comic books. This book is, however, less a retrospective than a gallery of more modern works - you'll largely find covers reproduced from the last 25 years or so. The book is largely broken down by heroine - so you'll find Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Catwoman, etc., each with their own little section in the book (some sections, regrettably, are larger than others). Lovers of Adam Hughes' work on Wonder Woman and on Catwoman would be wise to pick this book up, as his work is exceptionally well-represented in this volume. Overall, I'm pleased with this book - it is high-quality, the images are reproduced nicely on thick, glossy paper. You'd do well to buy this if you are a fan of comic books or interested in illustration.

Recently bought this, and it was definitely worth the money spent! Written by Louise Simonson(an accomplished comic book writer, for both Marvel and DC Comics), this is an illustrated guide to the female superheroines of past and present. Besides the well-known ones like Wonder Woman, Batgirl, and Supergirl, other lesser known characters are also spotlighted. Contains a number of full page reproductions of comic book covers(which look really amazing on the high quality paper of the book), and various other pictures.

Definitely recommended for superheroine fans. :)

It should have been titled "Bad Scans of DC Comics Cover Girls." The paper stock is nice and heavy, but the reproductions are horrible. There is such wonderful art to showcase here, but the majority are covered in bad moret patterns or just poor color reproductions. As the book moves towards current book covers and art, I was horrified to see the same bad reproductions, considering the source material could have been aquired in its original digital format! Also disappointing are direct cover scans-- including quite recent Adam Hughes and Jim Lee-- with all the cover logo, type, DC Bullet, and freaking UPC code in place. Such a shame.

This is my Favorite Book on my DC Girls!(or any superheroes for that matter) Beautiful Pictures...Informative History...Nice Large Coffee Table Size Book...Get This Book Right Now! Especially at this great price(I paid almost triple!),you won't regret it!!

Great book with many illustrations, as done by different artists, of DC's female characters throughout as well various info. If you like this then you'll find this book appealing.

This book is wonderful in many senses

I use it for reference all the time, love just looking through it and it has great descriptions of what the comic covers were mean't for story wise.

Has Wonder Woman and how shes changed through the ages and lesser known DC comic cover girls.

Beautifully printed and a great coffee table book for any comic fan.

Hope this helps. :)

This is a fantastic book, with great pictures of the DC Heroines, and great covers of some old comic books.

Incredible in every regard. No issues with this one and priced great too! Don't hesitate!

Thought this book would be way better. The art is fair,who cares about page after page of comic art from the golden age,when we are looking at covergirls! The book spends to much time on a few of the DC girls when thay could have covered a broader cross section of covergirls from say the last 30 years. WEAK
