Wow!

In both Chris' video and your description, he comes across as the type of guy that if you would try to hire him, but tell him you don't have a lot of money to spend, would just tell you that he "likes the concept for the comic", is "excited to work on it" and "not to worry about it and just pay him what you can afford". In other words, I don't think he cares all too much about the monetary aspects of his craft.

I haven’t been to a con in 20 years. Do artists charge for autographs and photos now?

@@MrPinpoint007 yes

JAbell1966 ah, that’s too bad

Perez has even more merit because, back in these days, there were no 3D programs nor Photoshops. All these scenes were handled with such a respect to perspective and proportions, it's really impressive. And all that was drawn in a record time.

Kevin Scott Halter Same. I say this often

Dhat "Batman: Venom" dhough..

That's awesome!!! Thanks for mentioning it!

I didn’t know he was still alive

@@thelittlepasty8360 Hale and hearty at only 72.

Some other guys besides Alan Davis who I feel have a Garcia-Lopez vibe are Carlos Pacheco, Eddy Barrows, Ivan Reis and Jorge Jimenez

Lol jjpnp0

Jim Lee is okay, but Excellent list. I think that's actually the general consesus!

Nice to see another kindred soul here who has both the comics and boxing bug! All the Best!

Big respect to Chris no doubt. It was kinda nagging at me tough in this video whether the artist was maybe a little exploited as an immigrant. references to 'more recognized or professionally established figures' read to me as 'better paid', hence 'just being happy to be at DC' feels like part of that. I know Chris kinda said it without saying it; shame he didn't have any creator owned stuff, they kept him working continually even while 'imploding' buy never gave him any kind of exclusive contract or bonus. But hey, he's happy, were happy, s'all good then right?

Not to be that guy but the Superman vs Spiderman crossover was done by ross andru with some work by neal adams and dick giordano

@@blootography2867 You're correct, for some reason I always believed that it was Jose Luis behind it. I wonder why?

Because they're all MASTERFUL artists

I suspect you got the Superman-Spider-man crossover confused with the Batman-Hulk which was by Garcia-Lopez and was the second big DC-Marvel crossover.

Same here.

This video was just published about 35 minutes ago. And this bit rate was not available 40 years ago.

My experience as well.

🤣

Speaking of being sad, let’s talk about suicide

@@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario Erm....

Don/t cry 4 moi Argentina

@@SonicXtreme99akaCreeperMario Well, that took a dark turn instantly.

Atari Force is really good, it is more of a solid sci-fi adventure than the kind of product placement you would expect it to be

Clarkster I thought Dart was pretty hot, Heather Thomas from The Fall Guy should have played her in a movie.

@@MrDepechefan1 Atari Force should be a movie or TV SERIES

Dr. Masque I know I would buy it.

Me too.

Funk O'Matic looks like he did JLA classified 16-21 if that counts

the closest thing available right now its the argentinian book" Jose Luis Garcia Lopez - Una Vida Entre Super Heroes" from editorial "Universo Retro", if you can get your hands on it

They DON'T like money. Or they have bad ideas about how to make it.

I still have that book, and I was VERY impressed with the entire package. He knocked himself out on that book.

Praise be his name

Uno de los grandes talentos que pasaron por Argentina en el mundo del cómic

Muy bueno...hizo historia en Dc

Oh Yes please!

I agree whit you ....Garcia lopez, Neal admas and Jim Aparo were the best artist that DC comics had in the 70's and the early 80s

Yes. All 3 of them were my favorites and still are. Jim Aparo is the definitive Batman artist for me.

I read The Eternaut for the first time a few months ago. It's awesome work.

which reference?

querido , que bueno verte por aca!

@Dreams_in_ Clay That's why these "were" the days. We grew up meanwhile.

@pippin except JLGL didn't start working at DC until after the silver age ended. I like a lot of Frank's stuff but there were people focusing on story and characterization beige him. And there was better art in the bronze age, too.

OMG! Yes! Didn't care too much for the whole Amalgam schtick when it came out but couldn't pass on the opportunity to see the results of two of my favorite artists working together.

He has the epithet among people I follow “Praised be his Name)

Siempre aparece alguno haciendo quilombo...

Es gallego man, bajale un toque.

nah, vivió acá desde chico, estudió acá, empezó a trabajar en Columba (para España no hizo nada), y habla en porteño, no con acento gallego. Garcia Lopez es de acá, loco!

Es tan español como Gardel era francés (o uruguayo).

Okay, I'm re-reading Atari Force, and I'm forced to admit that the story is better than I remember it being (so far!).

There's so much good stuff from Argentina, that it's almost criminal how hard it is to find. I remember in the 2000s there were some Columba reprints, but I don't know if anything like that is available anymore. Gilgamesh is some of the most memorable stuff I've read.

@My Correo He is of Spanish-Argentinian nacionality. You try again, fool.

@My Correo Do you need someone to explain for you how nationality and citizenship works? You are a bit dense my friend.

@My Correo ????????? Now you're on the deep end dude.

@My Correo I guess "tovarisch".

As much as I love JLGL's art, Neal Adams & George Perez were way more influential.

@@caligulapontifex5759 JLGL literally drew the style guide for the DC Comics Characters. You can say so and so is a better Artist but in terms of influencing the look of the DCU, JLGL is the guy.

Steve Not saying JLGL was not influential. But let me break it down for you. Neal Adams along with Denny O’Neil saved Batman back in the late 60s. You can divide the modern era of drawing comics into 2 parts, before Adams and after Adams. Adams inspired whole generations of great artists like Frank Miller and Jim Lee just to name a few. Perez, the best that ever was in drawing superhero teams. Crisis on Infinite Earth is probably the best event comic book created. He reinvented Wonder Woman for the modern age. And his Teen Titan run during the early 80’s saved DC from bankruptcy. I could write more but I think you get the point.

@@caligulapontifex5759 there you go. Thanks for making my point for me. Batman's one character in the DCU. JLGL is the guy, when you buy a t-shirt or a toy or a million other items, chances are he drew it or it was based on his drawings. That's what I'm talking about in terms of his influence on the DC brand. It's beyond comics.

@@Steve-wo7gt Nah bro I didn't make your point! True fans of this genre, who take the time and read up on it's rich history will get it. You obviously know nothing about the history of comic books. Too be so dismissive and demonstrate such a lack of knowledge about some of the other great artists is just an amateurish observation on your part. I'm actually embarrassed for you. Do me a favor and read up on the contributions of Adams, Perez and the other greats. It goes beyond the art. For example, did you know that Adams was one of the major advocates for creator rights in the 70s and 80s? The studio he created Continuity Associates was the launching pad for the careers of Terry Austin, Howard Chaykin, Larry Hama, Bob Layton, Joe Rubinstein etc. Seriously, read up on it. Maybe you will learn something. I doubt it, but miracles do happen. Thanks for playing.

Y bueh, vine y dije lo mismo. Pero siempre hay un argento más rápido jajaja...
