Review

"...the book contains 250 glorious cover reproductions..." -- 06/10 DAILY SOUTHTOWN

"DC Comics Covergirls compiles the finest ladies from DC's 70-plus years..." -- May PLAYBOY


Product Description

From the trailblazing Wonder Woman of the 1940s to edgy, girl-power-driven comics series like Birds of Prey, DC Comics Covergirls takes a look at the female characters of DC Comics throughout the company's history, and features many of DC Comics' iconic comic book covers. Written by renowned comic book writer Louise Simonson, the book examines the evolution of the comic book women of DC Comics: the 1942 introduction of the most famous DC heroine, Wonder Woman, and her various incarnations up to the present; the creation of comic book spin-offs based on characters such as Lois Lane; and the recent wealth of fierce, female character-driven comics such as Supergirl, Birds of Prey, Batgirl, and Catwoman, featuring women who have no trouble being both sexy and strong-willed. Famous featured DC Comics artists include Jim Lee, Alex Ross, Adam Hughes, J. Scott Campbell, Michael Turner, Tim Sale, and Jill Thompson. DC Comics Covergirls is a smart and in-depth look at the female comic book characters we've grown up with all these years, and is sure to appeal to new comic book fans and diehard collectors alike.

4.0 out of 5 stars Very Good Representation of DC Cover Art, December 15, 2007
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars an excellent guide to the superheroines of DC Comics, July 17, 2007
By bOoKwOrM (usa) - See all my reviews
  
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
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. :)
