For those who don't want to drop $125 on that other DC 75th anniversary book, check out this utterly fantabulous one that my peeps at Quirk Books have put together for DC. It's an oversized 11x14 coffee-table book reproducing 100 of the awesomest covers from DC's history, with historical context and creator commentary on the back of each one. You can preserve it as an art book or remove each piece to frame and hang. Only $26.40 at AmazWAN, where I note that a customer review has been posted by one Mr. J. Matthews.

Here are 100 of the most important, most incredible, and most bizarre comic-book covers from DC's incredible archives all perforated and ready to display in your apartment, dorm room, or cubicle. From Action Comics #1 and Batman #1 to lesser-known heroes like Mister District Attorney, this oversized compilation features every major milestone in DC's extraordinary history: Wonder Woman, Swamp Thing, Watchmen, Fables, 100 Bullets, and much more.

On the reverse of each poster are images of related covers and entertaining commentary, often with remarks from the cover artists themselves. Complete with a foreword from longtime DC Comics veteran Paul Levitz, this amazing anthology is a must-have item for any comic-book fan.

I wish they would have printed this on better paper.

I flipped through it at Borders and while I'm sure i'm missing the point of a poster book, it would be cool if you could just take them out and throw them up on your wall.

Well... you can. The paper is way heavier/stiffer than your average art book. It's just not glossy art-print stock, because if you printed a 200-page book on glossy art-print stock, it would be another one of those $200 books you can't afford.
