Dc Super Heroes: The Ultimate Pop-Up Book (dc Comics)

Reseña del libro

Gr 2-5?Pop-up-meister Reinhart incorporates images created by a number of DC artists into a set of spectacular 3-D portraits?both the sort that leap up in massively muscled splendor from the center of each spread and smaller but no less eye-popping figures tucked into folding booklets in the corners. Superman leads off, of course, a solar-powered ?living symbol of truth, justice, and the American way? towering over a view of his spacecraft while escaping an exploding Krypton on one side, and, on the other, cameos by a trio of sidekicks, plus Lois Lane, Lex Luthor, and (temporary) nemesis Doomsday. The Man of Steel is followed by Batman (with battery-powered Bat-Signal), ?Warrior Goddess? Wonder Woman, the squad of intergalactic Green Lanterns, Lord Darkseid (in a spread devoted to the Bad Guys), and, finally, a 45-character composite of the Justice League of America and its prominent adversaries complete with a numbered legend. Other heroes and villains from Captain Marvel, Teen Titans, and even the Justice Society of America to the Joker and Anti-Monitor take bows in the side galleries. The lettered captions are too concise to get into much detail about, for instance, the ?Infinite Crisis? story line but do clearly explain the origins and powers of the major DC players.?John Peters, formerly at New York Public Library?(c) Copyright 2010.
