Special congratulations go to writer
Paul Levitz, former president and publisher of DC Comics, who accepted his first Eisner award on behalf of the book, as well as TASCHEN Art Director
Josh Baker, DC Comics editor
Steve Korte, TASCHEN editor
Nina Wiener, and all the members of the DC Comics and TASCHEN staff who worked on the book.

"The biggest (and best) gift you can buy a comic book fan this holiday season...the new release from TASCHEN that began as a historical project but now may qualify as a history-making one with its colossal ambitions, insight and collected rarities." Geoff Boucher,
