José Luis García-López was born on March 26, 1948 in Spain, but lived subsequently in Argentina. Drawing inspriation from the works of such classic American artists as Alex Raymond (Flash Gordon), Harold Foster (Tarzan and Prince Valiant) and Milton Caniff (Terry and the Pirates and Steve Canyon) as well as Jose Luis Salinas and Alberto Breccia, during the 1960s, he worked for Charlton Comics.[1] In 1974 he moved to New York, where he met DC Comics editor Joe Orlando. His first known DC - and Superman - credit was June 1975's "Nightmare In Gold" back-up in Action Comics #448, where he inked the pencils of artist Dick Dillin. Soon after, he was inking the legendary Superman artwork of Curt Swan, before graduating to full pencils on a back-up story (written by E. Nelson Bridwell in Detective Comics #452 (Oct 1975).
Other notable works include Atari Force, Cinder and Ashe, Road to Perdition, Deadman, New Teen Titans and various DC superheroes. He has also produced a large amount of promotional artwork and covers, as well as interior art.
