DC Comics: The Golden Age 1938 - 1956 in Folio Society Devotees (February 8)

Reviews

1) Every comic wraps up too quickly, the villains often just suddenly lose and disappear and that's it. Some of them give very little room for the villains to spread their wings so it's kind of not great. I understand part of this is space constraints cause so many characters but ugh
2) Almost every single comic has a decent portion of time given to setting up the next comic, so you feel compelled to read, but there's never any sense of catharsis or conclusion because there's always SOMETHING else before they've even defeated any villain, it's weirdly exhausting to read.

Some of the writing and art is pretty good but ughhh

A large dose of nostalgia here. But not really for me. I read a few issues during the 1960s, which doesn't get much coverage. The stories that are included might be key, or even significant, in the biography of Superman. But focusing on his relationships on Earth (origin, parents, Supergirl, friends, Lois Lane, etc.) is repetitious and mundane. I would have preferred a collection of exciting superhero adventures and battles that show who he really is. Enough with the origin stories!

Note: I received this book for free from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
The story is so expository that it runs itself into the ground with what might have been a decent premise if paced out better. The characters are uninteresting in that their motivations make no sense. The artwork is technically good, but doesn't express anything other than what moves forward the plot.

The subject, Will Eisner, was very interesting. It was also great to see how his style developed over the decades.

Unfortunately, the writing just isn't very good. Jarring, nonsensical segues, weird shifts between second and third person narration, and sentences that take several readings before they make some sort of sense. Read it for the illustrations that show the evolution and genius of Eisner's style, but skim the text.
