Dread Posted December 7, 2021 Report Share Posted December 7, 2021 With the news out today that George Pérez has an inoperable form of pancreatic cancer and has 6 months to a year to live, I thought we'd partake in some adora vivos. Love him while he's alive. Wolfman and Perez on Teen Titans is almost single-handedly responsible for my comics fandom. While Marvel was beating DC across the board, Teen Titans was the only thing with the power to challenge Uncanny X-Men. What a fucking time to be a comics fan! But...his masterpiece, IMHO? I've got to reread JLA/Avengers. I've been meaning to for a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I referenced this image of Ultron in Episode 1116 but didn’t know it was by Pérez at the time: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Donomark Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 His Deathstroke has been unmatched with every failed reimagining. Look at this artwork. I think the earliest exposure I had to his work was this LPOD cover which always haunted me, the cheerful image juxtaposed with the dark title.

And yeah, that's one of those formative Batman stories for me. Hard to go wrong when you've got Perez and Aparo in the same story arc.

Davedevil Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 It's strange to me how he had defining runs on Wonder Woman and Teen Titans along with a decent number of Superman and Justice League issues, but he never did Batman for any length of time, when he really nails him.

He still did some big stories for Batman, like the two mentioned. I think that the companies wanted him on teams. Team books are pains in the asses for artists and there's noone better in the biz for drawing a shitload of characters in the same book. Wonder Woman happened because he was drawing their biggest selling book at the time and could basically do anything he wanted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davedevil Posted December 8, 2021 Report Share Posted December 8, 2021 I forgot A Lonely Place of Dying was in Titans as well, I remembered the Perez covers but thought that it was all Aparo interiors. I didn't realize Perez was a co-plotter on that book too, though it makes sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
