The 12 Triumphs of Wonder Woman Day
By Andy Mangels
Poster for Wonder Woman Day IV
Mythology
is full of trials for the heroes, often involving quests and monsters,
lions and many-headed hydras, and occasionally, the cleaning of very
stinky stables. Readers may recall the latter as one of Hercules' (or
Heracles', if you like) vaunted 12 Labors. But in the end, the hero,
quite naturally, triumphs.
(excerpt)
12 - The Birth of An Idea
Never having given birth to a baby, nor even sculpted one out of
clay and asked the gods to breathe life into it, I can't know the pains
involved in that process. But Wonder Woman Day was created in 2006 as a
way to incorporate three parts of my life into one fun event. I've
raised thousands of dollars for charity over the years with various
events and campaigns, including $7,000 for CBLDF with my book, The George Perez Archives. But that was the only element of my charity work that directly touched on comics (excepting work with the non-profit PRISM Comics).
And although George nicely drew me on the cover to that book with my
head touching Wonder Woman, I hadn't incorporated my love for the
character, or my immense collection, into charity work either.
When a Canadian TV series called FANatical contacted me to do a show
about my collection, and me, they asked if I had involved Wonder Woman
in my charity work. This spurred me to gel all of the elements together
and create the first Wonder Woman Day. Hundreds of hours of work later,
and thanks to the donated work of over a hundred comic artists,
$15,405.33 was raised for two Portland, Oregon, Domestic Violence
shelters at the debut event.

From THE CBLDF NEWSLETTER: BUSTED vol 2, #13
THE PEREZ ARCHIVES
published in THE CBLDF NEWSLETTER: BUSTED vol 2, #13
A CLASS ACTION
At a dinner preceeding Baltimore
Comicon, George Pérez at long last received his Defender of Liberty
Statue. Pérez has been one of the Fund's most generous supporters over
the years. His donations of time, art, and money have kept the Fund
strong, particularly in the early stages of the Jesus Castillo defense.
It was with a great deal of pride that the Fund was able to show our
appreciation to George at the show.
Beyond his work for the Fund at
conventions, Pérez and long-time archivist Andy Mangels created one of
the Fund's most successful benefit books, The Pérez Archives, volume 1. the project was published in 2001 and sold out in less than a year, generating nearly $7,000 for the CBLDF.
Mangels compiled the book after a
life-long interest in the work of George Pérez. "I've been archiving
George's work since I was a teenager and keeping a checklist of his
work. Because of this I've gotten an incredible amount of unpublished
artwork that are cool examples of his genius. I wanted to do something
with them that would showcase his work and raise money for a good
cause," Mangels said.
Mangels spent over 400 hours compiling
the book, which included hundreds of unpublished drawings by Pérez and
a comprehensive checklist of the artist's work. "Because this was
supposed to be the most comprehensive examination of George's career. I
couldn't miss anything," Mangels tells Busted! "George and I went over
it line by line, and ended up adding even more artwork and entries."
All the time Mangels spent on the book was donated to benefit the
CBLDF.
Mangels, whose science fiction and
popular media books - and comics works - have put him on bestseller
lists, is no stranger to good causes. For years he has been the leading
gay activist in comic books, editing the awarding winning Gay Comics
for eight years and working to improve the profile and working
conditions of gay cartoonists in this medium. He chose the CBLDF as the
beneficiary of the project for two reasons: "I really wanted to do the
book because of my long interest in George's artwork and I was raised
to really believe in causes and to help out other people. Although
George has donated to various charities over the years, the one that he
supported most and I felt the most passion about myself was the Comic
Book Legal Defense Fund. As a member of a minority group that faces
adversity in a legal fashion - and homosexuality is still a crime in
fourteen states - picking the CBLDF as our charity really hit home with
me."
"Censorship of any kind is more of a
crime than anything that could be published." Mangels says. "It doesn't
mean that everything has a place on the bookshelf, but it also doesn't
mean that things I don't want on my bookshelf shouldn't be published.
For these reasons, even though these days I'm not working much in the
comics industry and instead am doing novels, my commitment to the comic
industry and the protection of creator rights is still very strong."
Right now Andy and the Fund are considering venues for a second edition of The Pérez Archives. In the meantime, here's some work by the master that has not yet been published. Enjoy!

From Andy Mangels
(excerpt)
The publication of THE PEREZ ARCHIVES
in August of this year was a culmination of the last 24 years of my
collecting George's work, and - I hope - a fitting and enjoyable
tribute to the man whose graceful and meticulous linework and
storytelling still capture my visual imagination.
Although I haven't been able to get a firm total from the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund yet, it appears that THE PEREZ ARCHIVES has been one of their most sucessful fundraisers ever, bringing in somewhere around $8,000 or more!

From Vu
I have mentioned this several time before, but I have been meaning to a second review on the PEREZ ARCHIVES.
This isn't is full second review, but more to correct some views and
mistakes I have expressed here. I want to say that the review of 6 Sept 2001
was based on first impression of the book, but having used it to
reference on every back issue I've inducted onto my checklist since
October, I have to say that this book is a MUST for all Pérez
collectors. I have to stress that this is an invaluable reference tool
for anything related to Pérez.
I
mentioned this statement earlier, "Is it worth it? No, not really.",
this is referring to the deluxe version only containing an additional
34 pages, but costing twice as much. I just wanted to make this clear:
that the book is totally worth it, but I still stand by my
recommendation that buyers should stay with the less expensive version,
as $25 for an additional 34 pages just doesn't justify the cost. I
don't know why I am even discussing this as I'm not even sure you can
still buy a copy, but please contact Andy Mangels or CBLDF
to see if a copy is still available to buy. You are always welcome to
write in regards to contributing to the new version of THE PEREZ
ARCHIVES, as artwork is always need.
In the first review, I mentioned that the commission piece
from Michael Gowcharan, was not thanked or credited, was only
half-true. The truth was that his piece did not come directly from him,
but from other contributors. There were several attempts to contact
Michael, but proved fruitless. I'm sorry I have not mentioned this
earlier, I have had this sitting around for a while, but have not had
the time to commit this to written form. This is just out of sheer
laziness on my part, again, apologies to Andy Mangels.
There is another matter of the previously unknown Perez Archives #1 (hardcover).
I have attached the following official statement to the book
information: "This is a privately bound volume which is being
distributed to those few people who have provided a substantial amount
of artwork (in excess of 50 pages) or rare material to Andy Mangels'
archives of Perez material. It is not available for sale, though at
some point, a copy MAY be auctioned for charity." There were only 15
copies of the hardcover version.
I
hope this post clear up a few things. And again, just wanted to thank
Andy Mangels for a great publication. I know he worked very hard to get
the book out in a timely manner, and did a wonderful job helping a
cause like the Comics Legal Defense Fund. We are all anxiously waiting
for the new updated sequel.
From Vu
Looks like you can still buy a copy of THE PEREZ ARCHIVES (Regular) from CBLDF. Remember it's for charity!
From Vu
I got my THE PEREZ ARCHIVES book in the mail today and noted that it was sent on September 4th, 2001; see Andy Mangels's comment.
This book
is definitely worth having in your Pérez collection, but it's very
expensive (although you should take into consideration that the money
is going to charity) so I'm only recommending it for the hardcore fans.
The book is printed on white (with two purple pages for the deluxe
edition and four one-sided color pages) 8.5 by 11 inches and binded
together with a plastic binding. The cover is on a heavier paper and in
color, coloring by Marcus Mebes. Each copy of the THE PEREZ ARCHIVES
comes autographed, which is an added bonus (although I would've rather
have it sent here earlier than wait for the signatures).
One thing
that kind of bugged me was that there's very few artwork that I
personally haven't seen - which means that other massive fans probably
won't be seeing too many new artwork. Still, it is kind of nice to have
it in one book. Quality of the images varies from bad (I'm assuming
these are from scanned images) to very sharp and detailed.
xxxThere is one particular printed artwork that looks absolutely wonderfuly on printed format, which is the commission piece by Michael Gowcharan, who was not thanked or even credited !! (see correction). This will be (one) of the cover used for THE GEORGE PEREZ
NEWSLETTER #2, according to the caption.
Obviously,
there's a lot of artwork, but the other feature that most people
probably will ignore is the massive checklist! This lists everything
from Andy Mangel's business card (please send me one!) to flyers to
"cover design" credits! Very detail for the trainspotters.
There's two different version of this book, a regular edition and a deluxe edition.
The only difference is that the deluxe version contains 34 additional
pages and it costs twice as much. Is it worth it ? No, not really. With
cost and everything weighted in, I think that it's far better to get
the regular edition - which has an even smaller print run than the
deluxe by 50 copies! For collectors, of course I would have to
recommend the deluxe version, only because it has a few more pages.
If you missed out on owning this book, maybe you can still get one of the 200 copies of the regular edition by contacting Andy Mangels or CBLDF.

Pérez Archive Update |
|
From Andy Mangels, via
Pérez Email List
I know that some people have gotten their copies, as I've gotten
complimentary emails from them. Copies were shipped out late last week as
far as I know, though there may have been some stragglers early this week.
The delay occurred during a nightmare mix-up that consisted of:
1: copies shipped to Chicago storage before they were signed
2: George vacationing and unable to sign
3: airline delays for CBLDF people to the Chicago Con
4: Chicago Con itself delaying items
5: UPS delaying a 2-day package of book covers to be signed for five days
6: UPS delaying 2-day packages of Chicago storage books for six days
7: Another con (Dragon Con, I think it is) keeping most CBLDF members out
of the office
and half a dozen other small burps and bumps!
Anyhow, all copies of the Archives book ordered have been shipped.
There are still about 100 copies of the REGULAR edition of the Archives
available, but the DELUXE edition has sold out.
Final print on the two editions was 200-Regular and 250-Deluxe!
Thanks to everyone for their support with this project, and I hope you like it!

Pérez Archives Shipping |
|
From
Andy Mangels
Cut-off for ordering was the 10th [for THE PEREZ ARCHIVES], not the ship date. Although that may not
have been clear from my earlier email messages, that was a factor of the
CBLDF, timing of the Chicago Con, and other factors.
When you ordered it from CBLDF, they should have emailed you a note to the
effect of "the books will ship before the end of August." George just signed
the covers on Thursday - he had been on a trip and unavailable to sign the
remainder of the books - and both he and the CBLDF were at the Chicago Con
all weekend, so nothing has been able to be done this weekend.
I believe that books will start to ship toward the end of this coming week,
though I'M not shipping them - the CBLDF is - so I can't tell you for certain.
From
CBLDF

with the Deluxe versions (50 copies) selling out in the first two days,
and the regular edition selling about 50
copies of the 200 total printed. George signed with me at the Comic
Book Legal Defense Fund booth for the first two days, then at the

THE COMPLETE GEORGE PEREZ
April 6, 2001
The Pérez Archives Benefits CBLDF
Big art, big heart.
Artist
George Pérez is well known for bringing some of comics' biggest moments
to the page. Heck, he's the guy who'll be drawing the DC/Marvel JLA/Avengers crossover, and he once penciled 562 characters for DC's Crisis on Infinite Earths hardcover without batting an eye.
Pérez
is also well known for helping others. He serves on the board of
directors of ACTOR (A Commitment To Our Roots), a fund that provides
aid to old-time comic creators in need; he's been awarded the Comic
Book Legal Defense Fund's "Defender of Liberty" award for his
fund-raising efforts there.
This summer, the two sides of George Pérez come together. The Pérez Archives, a special publication benefiting the CBLDF, will be available at July's San Diego ComiCon.

THE PÉREZ ARCHIVES PROJECT
3/29/01 7:46 pm
"THE PÉREZ ARCHIVES"
LOOKING FOR CONTRIBUTIONS
Few modern comic book artists have garnered both the fan appreciation
and skill level of artist George Pérez, whose first mainstream comic work
appeared in 1974 in Marvel's Astonishing Tales. Pérez is famous (some
say infamous) for his work on books with large casts of characters,
including memorable runs on Avengers and Justice League of America, as
well as New Teen Titans, UltraForce, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wonder Woman, and many other projects.
Since the early 1980s, comic writer and journalist Andy Mangels has kept
an archive of work by Pérez, and has published complete checklists of his
work in publications such as Focus on George Pérez and Amazing Heroes.
Mangels has interviewed Pérez for many magazines, including the
mammoth Comics Interview #50, as well as in spotlight panels at the
San Diego Comic Con.
This summer, at the 2001 San Diego Comic Con, Mangels will be
presenting a special publication dubbed "The Pérez Archives," as a
benefit for the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF). The project will
include a complete checklist of every item which has featured artwork by
Pérez in the comic book field, the book publishing arena, licensing,
theatrical productions, and other areas. Currently, the book is planned at
approximately 100 pages, with a very small print run.
