1996 Wonder Woman Gallery art by José Luis García-López



JLGL has produced some of the finest, most iconic Amazing Amazon art ever. For me, this would be an exception. The composition is a mess, the central pose is contorted, and the obscured floating head looks like it came off a dollar VHS tape box. It still has eye appeal thanks to the artist's style, but there's a reason this was only a pin-up.

Yes, its not one of his best - it has a touch of Red Sonya about it for me, the way WW is posed...
Didnt he draw a couple of issues of WW back around th etime Byrne left or just a couple of covers?

Good point about Red Sonja. I don't recall JLGL doing interiors during the Byrne period or thereabouts, but he did a number of covers for Byrne issues for some reason. The Byrne brand was suffering from over-extension and a resultant dip in quality, especially on covers, so maybe that's why.
