We love anything linked to Marvel and DC. You can’t think of these companies without thinking of one word : super-heroes. In this specific post, I am presenting you four marvelous books that are published at DK Canada.
Superman The Ultimate Guide To The Man of Steel
Readers can now get a comprehensive look at the complete Superman story from his birth on Krypton and arrival on Earth to his double life as a Daily Planet reporter and as one of the most famous super heroes ever in Superman: The Ultimate Guide to the Man of Steel. Featuring beautiful comic book art from some of the best artists of our time, this book will allow fans to learn more about the villains, loves, and heroes who occupy Superman's world, including Lex Luthor, Lois Lane, Doomsday, and more.
This all-new guide traces how the Man of Steel has developed throughout the decades, while examining the monumental moments that have led to who he is today. Packed with information from its early beginning to this time and age, the book is definitively the ultimate guide to have if you are a fan of the Man of Steel. The book also covers the New 52 comics as well as alternate realities. Perfect for a birthday or Christmas gift!
One of Marvel Comics' favorite characters, Wolverine is a mutant who possesses animal-like instincts, super-enhanced strength, and the ability to heal from any wound. While he was part of the Weapon X program his skeletal structure was bonded with the near-destructible alloy adamantium, and now very little can stop him. DK's publishing program celebrates Wolverine's classic comic book roots, with gorgeous imagery, classic story lines, and a nod to the franchise that Wolverine has become.
Super-fans can learn about Wolverine's comic book debut (a cameo in a Hulk comic in 1974), and the development of his character, his story, the X-Men, and more in our comprehensive and spectacularly illustrated Ultimate Guide.
The book is packed with interesting information about this Marvel character that is widely popular. From the five things you need to know about Wolverine to all his appearances in the Marvel comics, this book is certainly something to get for the die-hard fan of Wolverine in your life.
