Ken Lopez

Ken Lopez, born September 4, is a letterer, logo designer, and art director whose career with DC Comics spans nearly four decades. He came up through the industry during a pivotal technological transition, establishing himself as one of the early adopters and advocates of computer-based lettering at a time when the craft was still largely done by hand. His most consequential behind-the-scenes contribution was designing the fonts used by DC's in-house lettering unit, work that quietly shaped the visual language of countless DC publications. Over the years Lopez accumulated credits across more than a thousand issues, with sustained runs on flagship titles including *Superman: The Man of Steel*, *JLA*, *JSA*, and *Young Justice*, as well as Marvel work on series like *Guardians of the Galaxy* and *Marc Spector: Moon Knight*. His active presence in the field from 1986 through at least 2024 reflects both his adaptability and his standing within the industry. In addition to his lettering work, Lopez has served DC as art director for lettering and as a cover editor, roles that extend his influence well beyond individual issue credits into the broader visual identity of the publisher's output.
