Book Description
When Superman debuted seventy-five years ago, it was not merely the beginning for one character, but for an entire genre. The phrase 'super hero' had yet to be coined when ACTION COMICS #1 hit newsstands in 1938, but once Superman entered the scene, effortlessly lifting a car above his head on that first iconic cover, the character paved the way for each of the hundreds (if not thousands) of super-powered heroes written since. SUPERMAN: A CELEBRATION OF 75 YEARS gathers a range of stories featuring the first and greatest super hero, highlighting the many roles the Man of Steel has played over the decades. In these celebrated stories, Superman is in turns the Herculean champion, the lonely alien survivor, the super-powered Boy Scout and the soul-searching leader. Over the course of seventy-five years, watch as the character grows from a simple strongman to the beloved international symbol he is today!

Book Description
Universally celebrated as one of comics' most influential creators, Will Eisner broke new ground with nearly every project he undertook during his long and extraordinary career. But no creation was more ambitious, innovative, or ahead of its time than the weekly serial he launched in 1940 - The Spirit! Over the twelve years of its initial publication, this legendary strip revolutionized the cartooning medium, establishing new methods of storytelling, developing new depths of characterization, and demonstrating to readers everywhere that comics could truly be an art form. In the years that followed, fans and professionals alike regularly revisited The Spirit to rediscover the feature's timeless appeal. To honor the 75th anniversary of Eisner's historic achievement, DC Comics is proud to present this deluxe edition collecting more than four hundred pages of the Spirit's four-color adventures. Beginning with his very first appearance in print, WILL EISNER'S THE SPIRIT: A CELEBRATION OF 75 YEARS follows the indefatigable criminologist Denny Colt across the decades to his most recent re-imaginings by some of contemporary comics' greatest talents - including Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, Eddie Campbell and Darwyn Cooke.

Book Description
En 1935, le fondateur de DC Comics, Major Malcolm Wheeler-Nicholson, édita le numéro 1 de New Fun, premier magazine de BD exclusivement composé de nouvelles planches originales, à une époque où les albums servaient surtout à recueillir celles qui n'avaient pas eu la chance de paraître dans les journaux. Ce qui avait d'abord été considéré comme une publication éphémère réservée aux enfants était bien parti pour devenir la mythologie de notre époque, la réponse du XXe siècle à Atlas ou Zorro. Plus de 40.000 BD plus tard, en hommage au 75e anniversaire de la maison, TASCHEN sort l'ouvrage le plus complet jamais publié sur DC Comics. Plus de 2.000 images — couvertures et intérieurs, illustrations originales, photographies, images de film et objets de collection — y sont présentées grâce à la technologie la plus récente en matière de reproduction numérique pour donner vie et relief aux scénarios, aux personnages et à leurs créateurs, que l'on découvre comme on ne les avait encore jamais vus. Le vétéran Paul Levitz, 35 ans de maison, nous dévoile les histoires qui se cachent derrière les numéros, dans des textes qui retracent toute l'histoire de la maison, de ses débuts dans le pulp jusqu'à son avenir dans l'édition numérique. Chronologies détaillées et biographies de tous ceux à l'origine de la magie de DC font de ce livre un ouvrage de référence infiniment précieux pour tous les passionnés de BD. L'édition XL originale de 75 Years of DC Comics, publiée en 2010, a été récompensée en 2011 par le prix Eisner de l'industrie de la bande dessinée dans la catégorie «Meilleure publication consacrée à la bande dessinée de l'année»! Mais comme même Superman aurait du mal à le porter, voici l'occasion de profiter du livre en un format plus compact. Et si vous le trouvez toujours trop lourd, son coffret se transforme en lutrin, pour que vous puissiez vous délecter au mieux de vos histoires et de vos personnages préférés en les affichant fièrement sur vos étagères.
