Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez: We're All Thankful for the 1982 DC Comics Style Guide!

The 1982 DC Comics Style Guide was such a monster, I had to split it into three posts to enjoy all that goodness. And I've only shown you the black and white side of things. All of these (and more) were also in color, and all were rendered by Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez. I hope you've enjoyed our previous forays - and if you missed 'em, then by all means make up for lost time!

And come right back on Monday for the conclusion of my year-long series of reviews of Art Spiegelman's Maus.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez: We're Still Praising!

Just because I like you (and let's face it - I like Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez), I'm back with another selection of lovelies from the DC Comics Style Guide, 1982 edition. Back at the beginning of August, we began our little tour, with many samples of Batman and Superman art. Remember - the purpose of the style guide is to show other artists what DC's characters "should" look like. And we also observed that in some cases, JLGL's work has been used as marketing on toy packaging, party favors, etc.

Today we're going to move ahead - but we ain't done yet! The Style Guide is so chock full of images, that it's going to take me yet another post to fully stuff your eyeballs with all this goodness. So check back in another few weeks for the conclusion.

And a helpful reminder - the entire Style Guide - both color and black & white images - is available online. Enjoy! Oh, and three cheers for smiling superheroes!
