Reception

Steve Faragher reviewed DC Comics: Sixty Years of the World's Favorite Comic Book Heroes for Arcane magazine, rating it a 9 out of 10 overall.[1] Faragher comments that "So if you wanted to know that Bob Kane based Batman on a combination of Leonardo da Vinci's sketches, Zorro and Bela Lugosi, or that the quote 'Who watches the watchmen?' is from the ancient Roman poet Juvenal, or even that Jack Nicholson was Bob Kane's suggestion to play the joker several years before the film was made, then this is definitely the book for you."[1]
