Necessary Evil: a documentary film on the concepts of villains, their general history, and their function in comics.
Worth seeing if you haven’t and it’s narrated by Christopher Lee. (Someone who knows plenty about villainy.)

Thanks to the adds from @TurokSonOfStone1950 and @DeSade-acolyte I’ve changed the title some and have included documentaries. I’ll try to keep the wikis somewhat organized for ease of finding/reading.

That was a great set of books
I wish I still had them
I remember two parts of it.
On the Spectre killing people in sadistic ways: “No social work.for him.”
Also a quote from.a siimilar character to Superman in the book.Gladiator describing the Invulnerable hero as he ran toward the enemy in World War I, like Wonder Woman would do in.her movie.
“They had seen it before. A type of madness had descended on him. They continued to fire at him.”

The ones I own. The everything u need to know one was extremely novice level. Speaking of. The only one idk was what strange substance turns Superman’s head into an ant head? If anyone knows it’s bugged me since I’ve read it. I’ve read comics with him in that form but I couldn’t find why?

I think those types of books are important though. One they’re a good entry point for some fans, but even for long-time deep dive fans, they provide beautiful artwork and quick reliable resources.

True. Plus there’s only one book idk everything in. The yellow book. Idk what strange substance makes Supes grow an ant head. The others I’m still not thru. Tons of stuff I learned. Like the majors, yeah. Heights, weights no. That’s why I love those. To your last point the art is incredible.
