Has Alicia Rhodes Retired?

A collection of Superlópez

Our superhero

Javier Mesón a collector of comics, who began collecting as a child. The first are reminiscent of some number of vertices, and "Fantastic 4", "Captain America" \u200b\u200bStar Wars and of course "Mortadelo and Philemon", "Zipi and Zape" and "Superlópez."

Specifically, Superlópez interested in him because he saw a completely different character to those who previously edited Bruguera. In those stories Superlópez not missing anything, he had adventures of all kinds, from alien invasions as strange, to Greek mythology and trips to the Earth. Series hooked him completely, both issues that work tobacco com or because she loved the rounded picture of its creator, JAN, was why we decided not to miss a number and buy religiously every year the corresponding copy the collection.

Although, the truth is that not all copies since 1979, because he is missing, but read them has read them all. The older numbers are bought online or at one of the halls of Comic normally held in Spain, which usually go.

But who exactly is Superlópez? is a cartoon character, created, as we have said, JAN (Juan López Fernández). I started drawing in 1973 commissioned by the editorial Euredit, but then the scripts were not his. It was from JAN 1980 when he became the owner of the creature giving voice and a distinct personality.

Speaking of personal ity was from that date when he acquired his Superlópez and ceasing to be merely a parody of the figure of Superman, which had taken many elements. To find these common points only need to review your "biography": our Superlópez, for example, was born on the planet Hush (instead of Krypton, as the American superhero), called Jo-In-El (like Kal-El of Superman) and had come to Earth as an infant, being welcomed by a couple of Lleida, the elderly, who adopted him. To walk the Earth, the author of his days (JAN) recognized him as his son and gave their names: Juan López Fernández. Another thing in common between Superman and Superlópez is that both were or are in possession of superpowers.

Superlópez The superpowers are super strength, the power of flight and of superspeed, ray vision, superview, beating, supersoplido, resistance to pain ... C'mon, it's virtually invulnerable, except for the chiktonita , you are allergic. Incidentally, this resource to change names to create other special, is widely used in the world of Superlópez by JAN. In addition to those mentioned above, we do not resist to recall, for example, "Parchelona FC" (instead of FC Barcelona), Al Trapone (Al Capone) and Luisa Lanas (Lois Lane).

Cases in which Superlópez is involved are, of course, global and cosmic transcendence and he resolves his own way, sometimes a little chance, but it solves. Since 1980 (with "aliens") was when Jan began writing the scripts, they became more wild and absurd and it was then, as we said, when he left to parody the American hero. Also changed the letter "S" he had in his chest, which had has given a similar issue where I had looked at which the "real" Superman. One feature seen in the new stage JAN as a writer is that their stories contain more social critique, developed in environments and scenarios very realistic

As proof of this we can highlight the No. 55 FANS Superlópez, entitled "In every crisis!" where it is financial engineering, mortgages and other topical issues.

With regard to the artistic, Javier tells us that over time in each story there is a reduction in the number of bullets. Unlike the first adventures were published, the current is larger in size and the picture is more detailed, including greater number of shots.

We asked Javier if found in a English comic book character that looks like Superlópez, but he has said that in his opinion there is none. Anyway, our collector would recommend to people who like to read Superlópez the "Pafman" Joaquin Cera, it is a good read and a fun character. Incidentally, when establishing a chronology of the English comic, Javier believes that to him, as for many people, dating back to the TBO, which started in 1917 and the Tom Thumb in 1921. However, for generation believes that the turning point for reading comics came with the magazine Mortadelo, which began in the 70's and, of course, also the No. 1 Vertex dedicated to "Fantastic 4" in paperback, published in 1969.

Javier, plus interest Superlópez CSR, so does Captain America, Iron Man, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, the odd "manga" as Bakuman, Dr. Slump, Rurouni Kenshin, or European comics, as Pema Ling, The Third Testament, Julius, Blacks and the reissue of The Magic Eye Kelly. And, of course, Mortadelo and Philemon.

Our collector is not restricted to follow the adventures of fictional characters, but are interested in the artist who created and whose career wants to know. In this case, Alice has interviewed for his blog JAN, which has been greeted personally on several occasions. We note that you est meetings have always been very rewarding, p0rque considered JAN is a very affable and funny, which is not the case with other authors from comics, strangely enough.

Javier has

a great blog " The cole ccionista comics" which gives much information about different comics, including Superlópez and provides links to websites and blogs on the topic. A Javier have given an award for the quality of their comments and no wonder, because they are very good.

"sea Cachis !"... (Exclamation point you can not miss the talk of Superlópez or talking about it) we forgot to say that you can now find our Collection superhero Olé!, Superhumor or Fans. It is also interesting that has been translated into other languages \u200b\u200band if seek German, called Super-Meier. If you want to know the title JAN favorite is "Pandora's Box" and Javier, "The cabecicubos." For more information about the character, go directly to: "Superlópez."
