Just been in The Works and bought both the Marvel and DC Chronicles for £14.99 reduced from £35.

There a history of the two comics and the size of encyclopedias. The paper is of the quality used in the recent Marvel Collection series and both come in hard cardboard slipcases.
The Marvel one is this Marvel Comics: A Visual History (978-1-4093-8399-4) - £14.99 - Graphic Novel Fiction at The Works
and the DC this DC Comics: Year By Year A Visual Chronicle (978-1-40535-080-8) - £14.99 - Graphic Novel Fiction at The Works

Both contain 2 art cards which are very nice the DC the second 2 in this link DC Comics: Year By Year A Visual Chronicle (978-1-40535-080-8) - £14.99 - Graphic Novel Fiction at The Works

And the Marvel below both one colour and the same in B&W

Is seen it in a few weeks but decided to open one up and have a look inside and had to drool at those late 50s and 60s DC covers which fr me sold comics rather than the cloned uninspired covers of today.

Already had the DC one, bought the Marvel and Star Wars one only to drop the bag and dent the corner real bad. Could have cried

Saw these at this price over Easter.

They worth picking up then?

For £15 you aren't going to go wrong. My wife paid £35 for the DC one in Forbidden Planet at start of 2011.

If your into comics yes, there very nice.

Just found that Marvel were called Atlas and before the FF they stoped publishing super heros and did cowboys romantic and I think creepy stuff.

Garrett

You would have it dropped on your foot there ton wight.
Shame the Marvel and DC art pictures are in different orientations they be nice to frame.

I've got a different Marvel one, Marvel Chronicle: A Year by Year History. Is there much difference between the two?
