Metal Legacies Of Bolland and Garcia-Lopez

Both Brian Bolland and Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez were born on this date, and both of them have many years of artistic excellence...

...including both of them doing variant covers for the Metal Men limited series of 2020.

The two artists also both provided covers for the DCU: Legacies mini-series in 2010....with Bolland providing this Demon/Atom cover, and Garcia-Lopez providing the two covers for DC's Silver Age (inked by Dave Gibbons)!

Happy Birthday Artist Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez

 

Happiest of birthdays to artist Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez!

Jose has done many covers (and interiors) for DC over the years, and these are two of his more recent (well, 21st Century) homages, based on classic Silver Age covers to honor editor Julie Schwartz, who used the idea of creating a cover then having a story built around it.
