It was really good. the stories are not as dark as batman or superman. Also the stories plots were more fictional than superman, but still good. It was not as serious as superman, that's one of the things that makes this book good... more

| 2. The Shazam! Archives, Vol. 4 (DC Archive Editions) | 
|
By: Various
Publisher: DC Comics
August 04, 2004
This volume continues with DC comics reprinting the mostly mundane and erratic early adventures of Capt. Marvel, with one notable exception: the Mac Raboy-drawn origin of Capt. Marvel Junior, which is a little better than the other stories so far reprinted in the Shazam Archives. This anthology only gets into the year 1942, and it is clear that Capt. Marvel had not yet found his stride by this time... more

By: Otto Binder, C.C. Beck, Various
Publisher: DC Comics
September 27, 2006
This first and hopefully not the last of the shazam family archives features fantastic art by mac raboy and some really cool golden age stories featuring mainly that character. strangely this volume doesn't start where the character actually started in his run of master comics as part of the bulletman feature. There is only one Mary Marvel story in this one too. I didn't expect Captain Marvel though... more

This book contains some very nice reproductions of the early editions of the Superman comic books. It is unfortunate that there are several issues that cannot be included because they are in another book, but for what is here, this should be a must have for any fan of Superman... more

| 7. Superman Archives, Vol. 3 (DC Archive Editions) |

By: Jerry Siegel
Publisher: DC Comics
November 14, 1997
As far as the Golden Age of Comics goes, everyone must agree that Superman is at the top of the list. Action Comics is where it all started and unless you want to pay thousands of dollars for EACH issue, this is your best bet. DC Comics really outdid themselves on this one. The hard bound format means you can read them over and over again without the worry of demolishing your investment (if you... more

By: Various
Publisher: DC Comics
September 01, 2005
Dick Sprang, who drew most of the stories in this volume, had the most charming style of any artist who's ever drawn superheroes: small-figured, precise, naive, whimsical, technically peculiar, somehow dreamlike. In these fantastical stories--including a few beautifully plotted larks by Bill Finger, the co-creator of Batman and one of the masters of the DC superhero style--he had the opportunity to... more

By: Gardner Fox
Publisher: DC Comics
August 01, 1999
I held off buying the DC Archive editions for years because of the hefty price. Then I bought a couple used and I saw that they are worth every penny. At least they are worth it if you grew up with these titles. It was amazing how many of these stories (and specific panels) that I personally remembered after nearly 50 years.
Volume five contains stories originally published in Justice... more
