ANOTHER GORGEOUS PRODUCTION FROM DK BOOKS!, Oct 12 2006
By Tim Janson - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Smallville Visual Guide (Paperback)
Much like other original WB shows such as "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" and "Charmed", "Smallville" became a sleeper hit that has evolved into a genuine cult TV phenomenon. These show about Superman's early life in his hometown of Smallville, pre-tights" has been blessed with outstanding performances and even better writing. Superman purists may object to the messing with accepted canon but so what...a great show is a great show.If you're familiar with DK Books' visual guides then you'll be familiar with what the book is all about. The guide spotlights the many characters, places, events, and storylines from the first five seasons of the show. The introduction includes a full, four page, fold-out map of the town of Smallville noting its most important sites such as the Kent Farm, Luthor mansion, and Smallville High School. The first major event covered is the meteor shower which first brought the infant Kal-el to Earth, as well as distributing the green kryptonite rocks which in years to come would spawn a myriad of mutations and humans with extraordinary abilities.
We'll see a young Clark (not to mention a young Tom Welling) as he first explores his great powers, using them to play the hero many times over. We meet Clarks friends Pete Ross, the plucky Chloe Sullivan, Lana Lang, Lois Lane,and, of course, Lex Luthor. There's wonderful section on the fabulous Luthor Mansion along with it's many secrets and security measures. I also miss Chloe's Wall of Weird and the many Kryptonite-enduced baddies from the first couple of seasons such as the shape-changing Tina Greer, Chrissy Parker who could stay forever young by sucking the life from her victims, and Jordan Cross who could foresee any person's future death.
There are also sections on the Kawatchee Caves, Kryptonite, The Fortress of Solitude, Jor-El, Brainiac, The Kents, and much, much more. The book features hundreds of full-color photos from the show and is the perfect companion for the Smallville fan. DK never fails to deliver fantastic books and the Smallville Visual Guide is no different.

beautifully laid-out with plenty of info!, Sep 13 2006
By J. L. Bass "Lady De'Winters" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Smallville Visual Guide (Paperback)
I've never bought a Visual guide before, but I'm such a huge fan of Smallville that I had to give it a try. I was not disappointed. With well laid-out pages and big bright pictures, this book is a feast for the eyes. At the beginning of the book there is a big fold out that displays a Smallville Map. The book covers the whole series up through Season 5. It goes over each character, including one time characters such as Mikhail Mxysptlk, Bart Allen, Perry White and Arthur Curry. Other features include pages detailing the Kawatche Caves, Clark's Origins, Kryptonite, The Elements, and the Clark and Lana relationship. Plus much more. Some of the written blurbs are a bit corny, but overall it is a fun book. Also, if you know Smallville backwards and forwards, most of the information will not be new. If you are a devoted Smallville fan, this is one to add to your collection.
