Garcia-Lopez, Jose Luis – Section Zero #5 - Cover !

As a huge fan of Tom Grummett's work, I supported his and Karl Kesel's efforts to finance their creator owned project originally started and published through the Gorilla Comics imprint in 2000. They only managed to get half the series published before the then cratering comics publishing market forced them to stop mid-series. In 2017, with the help of other fellow fans and admirers, they completed the last few issues and published the series as a beautiful hardcover book through Kickstarter.

What you're looking at here is one of several illustrations featuring Section Zero characters that Karl and Tom commissioned and published as pinups inside the hardcover collection. This one features Section Zero team member Carlos Irons. Not long after publication of the hardcover however, Image Comics approached them with the idea of republishing the series in a monthly comic book format, and in doing so, ended up republishing this beautiful García-López piece as the cover to the Image Comics published issue #5 and it is very likely the cheapest (by far!) Garcia-Lopez cover you'll find on the market today!
