After getting his start in the industry at Charlton Comics, García-López made his way to DC in 1974. He worked exclusively with DC for several decades, not only designing the 1982 style guide, but guides published in 1998, 2004, and 2012. Some of the many titles he worked on during his time at DC include Batman vs. Hulk, New Teen Titans, Superman, and Jonah Hex.
