Coming Up: José Luis García-López’s DC Classics Artist’s Edition


Out March 23.

Details: 

José Luis García-López—the maestro of comic art—is at long last featured in an Artist’s Edition! In a career at DC Comics spanning six decades, García-López has drawn nearly every character in the publishing company’s illustrious pantheon. His DC Comics Style Guide literally wrote the book on how these heroes are portrayed. 

Included herein are seven complete stories (Batman, Jonah Hex, Cinder and Ashe, and others), as well as numerous wonderful pages and covers, many inked by the artist himself. Fine vintage examples of DC Comics Presents, Deadman, Jonah Hex, and DC Comics Style Guide are featured. If you are a fan of García-López, this is the book for you! 

This Artist’s Edition was curated and compiled by Scott Dunbier, the originator of the format. Each page was scanned from the original art in high resolution and is printed at full size—these books are massive. The art has been scanned in full color to ensure all the subtle nuances are shown—blue pencil notations, ink gradients, corrections—all allowing the reader to experience the art as never before. The only better way to view this art would be if you were holding the originals in your hands.

Also includes including seven complete stories from The Brave and the Bold (1955) #171; Gotham Knights #10; Jonah Hex (1977) #1; Cinder and Ashe #1; Action Comics #1000; and Secret Origins of Phantom Stranger.
