Historia
Jim Lee, a world-renowned comic book artist, writer, editor and publisher, is currently Chief Creative Officer of DC (DC) and Publisher for the company.
Known for his incredibly detailed and dynamic artistic style, Lee is one of the most revered and respected artists in American comics. A veritable legend in the industry, he has received numerous accolades and recognition for his work, including the Harvey Special Award for New Talent in 1990, the Inkpot Award in 1992, and the Wizard Fan Award in 1996, 2002 and 2003.
Prior to his current post at DCE, Lee served as Editorial Director, where he oversaw WildStorm Studios and was also the artist for many of DC Comics' bestselling comic books and graphic novels, including ALL STAR BATMAN AND ROBIN, THE BOY WONDER, BATMAN: HUSH, and SUPERMAN: FOR TOMORROW. He also serves as the Executive Creative Director for the DC Universe Online (DCUO) massively multiplayer action game from Sony Online Entertainment (SOE).
Jim Lee was born in Seoul, South Korea in 1964 but moved with his family to St. Louis, Missouri when he was young. After graduating cum laude with a BA in Psychology from Princeton University in 1986, he started his professional career at Marvel Comics where his work on the X-Men continues to hold the all-time sales record for single-issue sales at an incredible 8 million copies sold in one month.
In 1992, he started his own production company, WildStorm Productions, and co-founded Image Comics, an independent comics company that quickly grew to become the third largest North American publisher. Two of his creations, WILDCATS and GEN 13, saw life beyond comics as a CBS Saturday morning cartoon and as a DTV animated movie distributed by Disney, respectively. In 1998, DC Comics purchased WildStorm Productions and Lee left Image Comics to join the DC Entertainment creative team.
In 2010, Titan Books released the 300-page artbook of Jim Lee’s DC Comics work titled ICONS: THE DC & WILDSTORM ART OF JIM LEE. In 2011, Lee was integral in the launch of DC Entertainment’s NEW 52 initiative, designing the new, more contemporary costumes for some of the DC universe’s most iconic characters, including Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman.

Comic Book
Ésta película Justice League: War es un film de animación que se basa en los cómics de superhéroes clásicos, y en los cuales una serie de personajes con superpoderes se unen para hacer frente a la invasión de los alienígenas, un tema clásico de la época. Esta liga no se forma de una sola vez, y en la película se ve como los superhéroes también tienen sus desavenencias y que formar un grupo con este tipo de personas no es sencillo. Los primeros integrantes fueron Batman y Linterna Verde, y es donde empiezan los problemas, ya que al segundo no le gusta que el primero sea un simple ser humano, cuyos poderes proceden de la técnica. A ellos se une Superman, que incluso intenta matar a los dos anteriores, aunque por suerte no lo hace cuando Batman lo llama por su nombre de pila, momento en el cual se detiene. Wonder Woman también entrará en la liga, y a ella se sumarán más superhéroes que como siempre intentarán acabar con el mal.

Hace veinte años, siete artistas superestrella dejaron Marvel Comics para crear su propia compañía, Image Comics, una compañía que continúa influyendo en los comics dominantes y la cultura pop hasta el día de hoy. La imagen comenzó como algo más que un simple editor: fue una respuesta a años de malos tratos a los creadores y cambió los cómics para siempre. The Image Revolution cuenta la historia de Image Comics, del trabajo de sus fundadores en Marvel, del temprano éxito de Image, las dificultades de la compañía durante la implosión del mercado de los cómics y, finalmente, la nueva generación de propiedades del editor como The Walking Dead. Llena de coloridos personajes, la película es un toque de clarín para que los artistas tomen el control de su destino.

A look at the history of the comic book publication that launched such legendary characters as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.
French artist and author Jean Giraud is one of the most famous and influential comic strip illustrators and authors of all time. He achieved his greatest fame as Moebius - not so much a pseudonym as an alter ego. With his triple-split personality - Jean Giraud, Moebius, Gir - he succeeded in making his work accessible in popular comic strip series like Blueberry, in metaphysical fantasies like John Difool and, not least, to a broad public, with set designs for films such as The Fifth Element. In Moebius Redux - A Life in Pictures an exceptional artist tells his life's and work's story. Extraordinary views on Paris, Los Angeles and the Mexican desert build a visual link between his life and his artistic universe, accompanied by the electronic soundtrack composed by "Kraftwerk" legend Karl Bartos.
