2.The Official Overstreet Comic Book Price Guide by: Robert M. Overstreet April 08, 2008
Average Rating: >>More Details		Off The Bookshelf's Price: £16.96 Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.22
I have been a comic book collector for over 50 years. During that time I've looked at every price guide ever published. While I get an occasional insight from other sources, I consistently find that the Overstreet annual guides are by far the best source. I also find that collectors of all ages and sophistications rely on this guide so it tells me what the market will be for comics I might want to buy or sell. Some people feel like they don't need to buy these every year. I disagree! Even the advertisements are valuable . . . I've found many helpful, low-cost suppliers through these pages over the years. I especially enjoyed the updated versions of articles about much older comics in this edition. Don't miss them.

3.The Essential Avengers: Among Us Walks a Goliath v. 2 (Essential Avengers) by: Stan Lee June 01, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £9.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £6.99 You Save: £3.00 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £2.72
Starting off with what was perceived as a weak line-up Captain America, Hawkeye, Quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch this set of stories starts off with them battling Doctor Doom in his homeland and gets even better. In rapid succession we have a 2 parter featuring Attuma which paves the way for the return of Giant Man (now known as Goliath) and the Wasp. They battle The Collector and The Beetle, Power Man with Swordsman and the Black Widow, the Keeper of the Flame, The Sons of the Serpent, the lovestruck Living Laser, the alien Ultroids and then.....Wham, Hercules is introduced, under the control of the Enchantress he battles the Avengers before he sees the error of his ways and shacks up with them. With Hercules they quickly see off the Mad ... Read More:

4.Great British Comics by: Paul Gravett October 26, 2006
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £18.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £13.29 You Save: £5.70 (30%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £9.00
I have a few books on comics in general, and 'Great British Comics' beats all of them hands down. It is wonderfully written - not scholarly, not dumb, but perfectly readable, intelligent and also very positive about its subject matter, showing no snobbery or bias towards any one particular area. And talking of that, the diversity of genres and styles is quite astounding - British comics are incredibly rich in history and it is fascinating to see the quality of early strips and their development through the years. But they also have a rich future from the look of things, and Paul Gravett is enthusiastically upbeat about a medium that many thought lost along with their distant childhood... "Oh yeah, I remember comics! Do they still make them?". There is a ... Read More:

If you're reading this,you need this book. Don't think, ORDER! Why are you still here? Is my fanatic praise not enough? What, you want me to explain myself? You'll be sorry. Bottom line, this is the most accessible and down right readable volume availible on comicbooks anywhere. If you have the slightest effection for comics you will enjoy it, guaranteed. Even if all you have is hazy but fond memories of the Spiderman & his Amazing Friends show,you will love this book. What you get for your money is the story of Marvel comics & their place in American culture, a neat little over view of the early history of sequencial art & insight into the unique creative methods of the company, famously pioneered by Stan Lee & Jack Kirby ( haven't heard of them? ...

Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £19.95 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £14.99 You Save: £4.96 (25%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £7.99
This is the most comprehensive examination of comics and graphic novels I have ever looked at. Tracing the medium from it very beginnings it is CRAMMED with hundreds of colour pictures showing the widest variety of examples. This is a very interesting and thorugh read and a must have for anyone interested in comics, graphic novels and sequential art as a genre.

7.Big Baby (Charles Burns Library) by: Charles Burns April 14, 2000
Average Rating: >>More Details		Used Price: £10.00
If you like comics, graphic novels, or appreciate fine but off the wall art, you MUST buy this book immediately. Charles Burns is an artist without peer. His work is spooky and atmospheric and leaves you desperatley wishing there was more of it. The stories are downright bizarre, but that only compliments his mad artistic vision. Unquestionably one of the finest minds working in the field today. Buy this book now. Now! NOW!!!!

8.Batman Complete History (Batman) by: Les Daniels 2004-06
Average Rating: >>More Details		List Price: £12.99 Off The Bookshelf's Price: £9.99 You Save: £3.00 (23%) Prices subject to change. Used Price: £5.55
This is a great book for fans of the comic book character, providing a well-written and entertaining history that concludes just prior to the recent movie reincarnation in Batman Begins and The Dark Knight. It's well illustrated, amongst other things with photographs of some pretty obscure merchandise and with occasional complete strip stories that illustrate the thrust of the documentary narrative. And the printing is good on high quality paper. The only problem with this book is the binding, which falls apart astonishingly quickly, starting with the outer covers parting company from the pages, followed by the bound sections separating. This appears to be entirely due to the choice of an unsuitable adhesive that simply fails to adhere. A real let ... Read More:
