A través de los cómics publicados bajo el sello Otros Mundos, DC Comics se liberaba de las restricciones de la continuidad y exploraba las más inverosímiles posibilidades en torno a sus personajes, como... ¿qué pasaría si la nave que trajo a Superman hubiera llegado a la Edad Media? ¿Cómo sería una historia del Hombre de Acero ambientada en el mundo real? ¿Y si este estuviera al frente de una poderosa corporación que explotase su imagen?

A todas esas preguntas encontraremos respuesta en este apasionante volumen Otros Mundos de Grandes autores de Superman: José Luis García-López, donde, de la mano de este extraordinario dibujante, disfrutaremos de algunas de las mejores historias del hijo de Krypton jamás creadas.

Dave Gibbons is an English comic book artist, writer and sometime letterer. He is best known for his collaborations with writer Alan Moore, which include the miniseries Watchmen and the Superman story "For the Man Who Has Everything". He also was an artist for the UK anthology 2000 AD, for which he contributed a large body of work from its first issue in 1977.

Gibbons broke into British comics by working on horror and action titles for both DC Thomson and IPC. When the science-fiction anthology title 2000 AD was set up in the mid-1970s, Gibbons contributed artwork to the first issue, Prog 01 (February 1977), and went on to draw the first 24 installments of Harlem Heroes, one of the founding (and pre-Judge Dredd) strips. Mid-way through the comic's first year he began illustrating Dan Dare, a cherished project for Gibbons who had been a fan of the original series. Also working on early feature Ro-Busters, Gibbons became one of the most prolific of 2000 AD's earliest creators, contributing artwork to 108 of the first 131 Progs/issues. He returned to the pages of "the Galaxy's Greatest Comic" in the early 1980s to create Rogue Trooper with writer Gerry Finley-Day and produce an acclaimed early run on that feature, before handing it over to a succession of other artists. He also illustrated a handful of Tharg's Future Shocks shorts, primarily with author Alan Moore. Gibbons departed from 2000 AD briefly in the late 1970s/early 1980s to became the lead artist on Doctor Who Weekly/Monthly, for which magazine he drew the main comic strip from issue #1 until #69, missing only four issues during that time.

He is best known in the US for collaborating with Alan Moore on the 12-issue limited series Watchmen, now one of the best-selling graphic novels of all time, and the only one to feature on Time's "Top 100 Novels" list. From the start of the 1990s, Gibbons began to focus as much on writing and inking as on drawing, contributing to a number of different titles and issues from a variety of companies. Particular highlights included, in 1990, Gibbons writing the three-issue World's Finest miniseries for artist Steve Rude and DC, while drawing Give Me Liberty for writer Frank Miller and Dark Horse Comics. He penned the first Batman Vs. Predator crossover for artists Andy and Adam Kubert (Dec 1991 - Feb 1992), and inked Rick Veitch and Stephen R. Bissette for half of Alan Moore's 1963 Image Comics series.

Works other than comics include providing the background art for the 1994 computer game Beneath a Steel Sky and the cover to K, the 1996 debut album by psychedelic rock band Kula Shaker. In 2007, he served as a consultant on the film Watchmen, which was adapted from the book, and released in March 2009. 2009's Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars Director's Cut for the Nintendo DS and Wii platforms featured hand drawn art by Dave Gibbons.

Un tomo bastante redondo en cuanto a calidad. Los tres relatos, dos otros mundos y un realworlds, se disfrutan bastante, sobre todo en el arte de García López. Tres relatos hechos de la materia de las leyendas, con el clásico relato artúrico medieval, otro relato noir y uno inclasificable, en el que Superman es una especie de estrella mediática en busca de su identidad. Las tres suponen una vuelta de tuerca más que interesante del personaje.

Entretenidas historias paralelas y alocadas sobre Superman. La más interesante, la primera, con un corte medieval muy bien logrado.

Llevaba tiempo con este pendiente en mi estantería. Es una chulada, nos encontramos con 3 historias alternativas a la clásica de Superman .

La primera transcurre en época medieval, ¿te imaginas un Superman en dicha época?, pues sí, aquí lo tenemos, es la que más me ha gustado
La segunda es actual, pero muy diferente a lo que puedas imaginar, ¿un Superman en una casa de acogida que acaba siendo una estrella del baloncesto antes de conocer su origen?
La tercera, nada de poderes, simplemente un humano normal, machacado, que acaba siendo un mafioso tras salir de la cárcel, un mafioso al que tildan de “Superman”

En definitiva, muy divertido el ver otras posibles historias de este superhéroe tan reconocido. Muy recomendable.

Tres Elseworlds diferentes con los lápices en los 90s de Jose Luis Garcia Lopez, dándonos un Kal El medieval contra un Luthor Señor feudal. Por otro lado un Superman que explota sus habilidades atléticas y por último un joven tatuado con el símbolo de la S.
En todos los casos queda en evidencia por defecto la importancia de los Kent en la crianza de Clark para convertirlo y guiarlo a ser ante todo una buena persona.
