The Bronze Age of DC Comics

I got this for my husband as an anniversary gift (the Bronze anniversary!). I guess I should have read the description a little closer because I thought there were some reprints of actual comics included. No such luck. But the content that is here is awesome. Beautiful pictures and interesting tidbits about the writers and plots in the comics of the time. Very nice coffee table book.

Fantastic survey of a thrilling time in sequential art when things were on the cusp of change and all things old were being made new again and the heros got the edge back that they had when first created- when super man fought wife beaters and Batman took harsher vengeance on criminals. This is the period where readers got tired of the silliness that had been in the 1950s and 1960s so some of the pulp edge was put back into the books and some of the best artists to ever work in the field were having their day.

Absolutely wonderful nostalgia and geek fest. If you grew up reading DC comics in the 1970's then this is a must have. Interviews, biographies of some of the great creators of then, and some beautiful cover repro's. You can't fail to enjoy. Well worth the money!

This Era was when I started reading comic books as a kid. This book was a wonderful read and took me back to those days when I would love get a comic book off the spinning rack at my local 7-11. There's tons of behind the scenes info included as well as so much art work. It's just an amazing book. I can't recommend it highly enough!

This is literally a piece of comic book heaven. If you love the genre, check out this fantastic history of when stories were top notch and art to match!

Item came as described. Would buy from again.

As a Superman fan, this was a "must buy" for me - and I'm glad I did.

Nice expanded edition of this portion of the 75 years of DC Comics mega book. I bought both and the art and information well worth the money. It's too bad Taschen has decided to not make the remaining 2 volumes.

Wife got it for me for our 8th Anniversary (bronze)... I love it... love to learn more about the comics i grew up with

The book is HUGE, beautifully made, and the art looks great in the large format. Really well put together.

Paul Levitz takes you through the history of DC comics. Includes great pictures of Comics from the time period. Worth a look by any comics book fan.

What a great book! High quality and handsome slip cover! Great gift choice!

Amazing book! I didn't purchase the 75 years of DC book others have spoken of, so I can't compare it to that, but I can say this is a beautifully put together and meticulously researched book that any and all Bronze Age fans should get. I guess I'm biased as this was the era I started reading comics, but I enjoyed every page of this massive book. Highly recommended!

Buena opción de libro

my son flipped @ this christmas gift / you cannot go wrong w/taschen publishing ... the best ... 400 pages of comic artistry at it's peak - presented by printing @ it's (affordable) peak !

Beautiful presentation, good package, brand-new.

Nice looking book, campy illustrations. I guess that was the feel of the Bronze Age. My husband loves super heroes, so I bought it for our "Bronze anniversary"!

great book

great service and book

This is a great series put out by Taschen, it's a really large format book with copious historical information about DC's various media. It's the third of a series, the previous two being the golden and silver age of DC comics respectively. It is a great reference/coffee table book that looks great on a shelf and is endlessly informative to read. If you are into the history of any of DC's various comic or television properties there is most likely something in this book for you, I'd highly recommend getting all three!

A good graphic telling of DC bronze age and very interesting facts in this stage.

Great book. I hope we see future volumes.

Fabulous book!

I already had the silver age book and was keen to get this one to increase my collection. Of all the classic ages of DC comics the bronze age is by far my favourite with the work done on Batman and the teen titans particular highlights. It is great to see some of the old covers and inserts of these classic books, the artwork is first rate and the notes and text interesting. For anyone who is interested in the heritage of DC comics these books are a great coffee table addition.

Mouth watering content - as are the Golden Age and Silver age ones.

Fabulous art. Beautiful presentation.

Great reference book for every comic book fanatic.

Comprato per completare la trilogia DC comics (goden, silver, bronze age). il libro di formato medio è pieno di illustrazioni a pagina interna o doppia oltreché ovviamente di commenti (in inglese). questo lo rende adatto sia ad un utilizzo come consultazione di note e testi per appassionati di fumetti, che come "soprammobile" da tenere aperto su tavolino da caffè o simili (cambiando magari pagina di tanto in tanto) Assegno solo 4 stelle e non 5 proprio in relazione a quest'ultimo tipo di utilizzo, visto che esistono volumi dello stesso tipo di dimensioni ( e costo ...) ben maggiori che meglio si adattano ad essere esposti. per il resto pienamente soddisfatto della trilogia

Para alguien que como yo se haya introducido en los cómics de DC con publicaciones de Bruguera y Zinco estamos ante una obra imprescindible, que cubre las publicaciones entre 1970 y 1984, o sea, que aborda toda esa gran época que para muchos es la canónica de DC (pues es la que marcó las referencias que se utilizan hasta hoy) y que vendría a ser la que desarrolla el Universo DC pre-Crisis. Se trata de una revisión y remaquetación del capítulo correspondiente de 75 Years of DC Comic: The Art of Modern Mythmaking, pero en un tamaño infinitamente más manejable, por lo que es mucho más recomendable. La imagen de la portada no refleja fielmente la sobrecubierta real, puesto que el color de fondo es bronce metalizado. O sea, que tenemos un acabado realmente espectacular. Una obra de la que de querer encontrar un fallo sería que por el momento sólo está disponible en versiones en inglés, francés y alemán. Tras echarle un primer vistazo sólo puedo esperar a que pronto llegue un cuarto volumen dentro de esta serie que repasa la historia de DC.

This is an awesome book for anyone who has an interest in the DV creative works dating from early 70s through to mid-80s. The book features cover art as well as captures of in-story artwork while profiling the collective writers, pencillers/artists, inkers and other creative contributors. Definitely a good buy!

An amzing book, as good as the first volume of the series. I am longing for to obtain the second volume, The Silver Age of DC.

Eine geniale Reise in die Vergangenheit und ein richtig dicker Band, der nichts auslässt! Für Superhelden Fans ein MUSS! Hab auch Gold u Silber!

Si eres un fan del cómic, aquí tienes una maravilla a todos los niveles: contenidos, imágenes, edición... Un placer para los sentidos.

I received my order in 10/06/15 Thank you very much AMAZON-CANADA Marvelous Seller Highly Recommended 100% This book is Marvelous, Fantastic !!! Thanks,

Muy buen libro, en excelente estado. El precio muy bueno y el tiempo de entrega y la entrega misma de muy buena calidad.

My husband loved this!

Excelente libro sobre DC, de lo mejor que se puede comprar....

Simplemente genial, mi colección completada. Un libro indispensable para todos los amantes de Dc, en un gran formato como guía genial, espero que continúen con las próximas edades que ya toca nombrarlas.

Too much Superman-too much Batman but apart from that a great book. I didn't buy the first 2 volumes because they were overwhelmed with info on the big 2 (yawn).This 3rd tome is the best era for comics(imo). One bad omission is there were only a few words on the Secret Society of Super villains comic and not one cover. I still rate that as the best comic of the 70's (probably because it always featured at least one of the Flash's Rogues Gallery). This was the time when all the first generation fanboys entered the industry and had some brilliant ideas about the comic characters.This book should have been twice as long . I don't rate Paul Levitz - I remember him telling me (at a uk con) there was no call for a dc archives on Adam Strange. Where do you go from there ? - head of Dc perhaps
