>Based on the famous 1982 DC Comics Style Guide, these incredible character turnarounds will be featured on DC’s comics in July!
>Captain Marvel, Shazam! #13 José Luis García-López Artist Spotlight Variant
>In 1982, Spanish-Argentine artist José Luis García-López was hired to design an in-house document, the DC Comics Style Guide, delivering a consistent look and characterization for DC’s Super Heroes that influenced comics, animated series, action figures, toys, clothes, lunch boxes, trading cards, sticker books, and more. Anytime a DC artist wanted to use one of their established characters, they’d pull the DC Comics Style Guide (shared internally as 3-ring binder) as a reference for the costume and the general style of the characters appearance.
>The model sheets in the DC Comics Style Guide became the standard reference for DC artists and license holders working on DC releases for decades and, thanks to García-López’ timeless character work, has continued to influence many DC artists and fans to this day.
>And in July, key character turnarounds have been pulled from the legendary DC Comics Style Guide to be featured for the first time on a set of Artist Spotlight variant covers honoring José Luis García-López! Look for Artist Spotlight variant covers on Batman #150, Green Arrow #14,Green Lantern #13, Shazam! #13, Superman #16, The Flash #11 and Wonder Woman #11.
>By visiting the José Luis García-López Talent Spotlight hub on the DC UNIVERSE INFINITE digital subscription platform (DCUI), fans can readWonder Woman, DC Special: The Return of Donna Troy, Batman, All Star Western, Jonah Hex, Hawkman, and more, all featuring the artwork of José Luis García-López

Comics should go back go this look, it stands out a lot for me and is better than most comic art today
There should be no singular look, but we definitely need more artists of JLGL's caliber.
You mean more the style of line art or the coloring?
Yes, that's the classic comic book style I like it a lot
Sadly fan art losers complain because they think it’s restrictive to expect character models and designs to be consistent.
Take:
this doucheback for example.
Frankly I think “house style”/character models should be much more rigidly enforced. But that would require artists being paid better and more OGNs for the “artistic freedom” losers like that anon.
"House style" is assembly line bullshit. Suck that corporate wiener somewhere else.
JLGL is one one the best. There is a reason why his art was in all the marketing
May I introduce you to Dan Mora?
Flat colors and costume choices doesn't make his art look like this. His art would stick out in a 70's/80's book.
Ok anon good stuff

>$5.99
I've been kind of out of the loop on comics for a couple years but damn.
Also they finally got the balls to use the Captain Marvel tagline again?
Oh no Campbell is back? Get ready for more “Lois looks like a black woman with a powdered face” bullshit.
Brown Lois is best Lois
What the frick is this?
"modern """art,""" and you wonder why we say we need a rigid house style
>shitting on based Quitely

>still no JLGL art book from dc

>* Note: Shazam's cape is NOT transparent. It is shown that way here in order to make his back visible.
They should make a cartoon like this, well its superfriends but you know modern
i wouldn't be surprised if it happened, given x-men 97
Any friends form South of the Border have his art book?
Spice here
No
damn
i wanna know if its worth picking up even if you don't speak mexican
>all the mainline ongoing books should be in house style
>all artists should be made to work on an ongoing doing house style for at least 2 years
>once they have proven themselves they can be allowed to do different artstyles in minis or out of continuity comics
>this filters out shitty artists from tumble and brings much needed cohesion back to the main comics line
its this simple
José Luis García-López is simply the best
