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.

From 1985… Fifty Who Made DC Great. The comic book special was published to coincide with DC’s golden anniversary, and it contained profiles of 50 creators and companies who helped make the company, um, great!

I think you added Batman Visual and the Vault? Also, I think at least the latest generation of the DK books should all be on here, they fill an important role.

Hello @TurokSonOfStone1950 , Are there any books or documentaries about the history of DC comics that explain well about what ages the Superman and Batman comics were initially aimed towards? I want to confirm my theory to see if its true so I need more sources to get my evidence and information from, as I have been researching this topic for a while now.

I don’t know any

It just is not discussed.
