George Perez. Mention
that name to the average comics fan and you will, at the least, receive
a respectful response. At the most, you could hear an excited verbal
dissertation listing that fan’s favorite Perez works and how they
impacted his or her life at the time. Well, their hobby life, at any
rate. In an age when the word “icon” may be in danger of overuse, it’s
safe to say George Perez is approaching such status. Now, there’s a
definitive work covering the man and his artistic legacy - George

GEORGE PÉREZ - STORYTELLER: THE FIRST 30 YEARS HC
(2007)
Dynamite Entertainment |
I know I'm reviewing this a
couple of weeks too late, but Dynamic Entertainment's GEORGE PEREZ:
STORYTELLER would be an excellent Christmas gift for the George Perez
fan in your life. The book is a heavy oversized hardcover tome
discussing Perez's life and career from his childhood right up to his
current DC work. There are chapters devoted to his original work on
Marvel's AVENGERS and FANTASTIC FOUR, the CrossGen years, JLA/AVENGERS,
his return to the AVENGERS in the late 90s, and more. The high points
you remember are all there. The more interesting thing, for me, was in
seeing how they string together and came about.
I didn't realize Perez had the
reputation he did for flaking out on work. I know he had some
relatively tough time in the early 90s with spotty work and scheduling,
but I didn't realize the issues went back even further. Thankfully, the
book doesn't shy away from Perez's issues with meeting deadlines,
dropping projects, and having difficult times working on books he
doesn't truly believe in. It doesn't paint him as a comics savant, but
more as an adult fan who likes to work on what he likes to work on --
largely superhero books with large casts. If they have pretty females,
all the better.

Although we started with a nice-sized bonus section in this week's
regular column, I promised more coverage on a variety of other titles
that I and others have seen lately. This time, I've got books from
three companies to look over. We'll be sorting these by company after I
deliver the first review, which covers one of the best historical tomes
released this year.
Any regular reader of Best Shots knows
that I'm a huge fan of George Perez's work. I really started following
him on Avengers, then Justice League of America and New Teen Titans. My
favorite single issue of a series is still #200 of the original run of
JLA, a book for which Mr. Perez contributed stand-out framing sequences
and the final battle between the League and the alien invaders.
Obviously, I'm not the only fan of the man in the world, or else we
wouldn't have this wonderfully crafted look at his life and work.

GEORGE PÉREZ: STORYTELLER
Reviewer: Prof. Challenger
A couple of years ago on a Christmas
episode of the Howard Stern radio show, one of Howard's cronies gave
Howard the massive hardcover DC ENCYCLOPEDIA because of Howard's love
of comics. Howard then proceeded to chainsaw the book in half because,
as he put it, he loves comics but absolutely hates books about comics!
Now, see, I'm completely the opposite. I
LOOOVVVVEEE books about comics and I'm in the realm of the severely
disenchanted as to most monthlies at this stage o' the game. So, it's
no surprise that finally getting my grubby little fingers on the
hardcover GEORGE PÉREZ: STORYTELLER meant I was going to really dig it.
...
SENTINELS: VOLUME FOUR
It's a rare thing when a series ends with as satisfying conclusion
as SENTINELS does. More often than not, when a finite series makes its
final curtain call, whether it be on television or in the pages of
comics books, I will find myself extremely disappointed. It happened
most recently with the Sci-Fi mini-series THE LOST ROOM. Six hours of
my life invested in a great mini-series which just ended up fizzling
out by the end. Oh, well.
I can be grateful, however, that the
same thing did not happen with SENTINELS: VOLUME FOUR. I have to say
that when I got my hands on this book I was a bit afraid to read it.
See, I discovered SENTINELS several years ago at the San Diego
Comic-Con and I've loved every page that I've read since I picked up
the first book. Yes, it's taken ages for each volume to come out but
it's been worth it. Great storytelling takes time and SENTINELS is
great storytelling.

I'm a huge George Perez fan and have
been since I was a kid. I first remember sampling his work in the early
1980s on New Teen Titans and Justice League of America. There was just
something about his work that set it apart from the art in other
comics. The detail, the density of the panel layouts, the
expressiveness of the characters' faces… it all stood out as being
unique, at least in my mind as a pre-teen and teenage comic fan. This
isn't the first time someone has published a book about Perez's career
- I have a copy of Focus on George Perez hiding around here somewhere -
but this book strikes me as being more blunt and honest about the
twists and turns on the path the artist has taken over the years. The
writer examines not only Perez's successes but instances in which he
faltered or circumstances did not play out to his advantage.

(excerpt)
5. George Perez Storyteller - A Christmas gift from a good
friend that I tore through on Christmas day. There have been
collections on Perez before, usually in the form of interviews, but
this is the first time I've been walked through his entire career. What
a trip. Particularly fascinating for Perez fans will be the middle
sections on his post-Titans decline, his mid-career fumbles, and the
subsequent rejuvenation of his reputation following his run with Kurt
Busiek on the "Heroes Return" Avengers. Perez recounts a priceless
convention moment when, after his Avengers work allowed his "discovery"
by a new generation of fans, one kid told him that he was such a good
artist, he had the potential to be the next Todd McFarlane!
Ever-gracious, Perez resisted the cheap shot. An attractive and
surprisingly revealing book.

...Looking at some of his earliest work,
you can see the germ of greatness laying there in his panels, and as
the book goes forward and the art gets newer, it blossoms before your
eyes; if you took away the text of the book and left only the pictures,
you would still see Lawrence's narrative point, and vice versa.
Packaged in a nice hardcover, this is an

Okay, it was due out last December, but, with something like George
Perez Storyteller, it's hard to get too annoyed about the year wait.
The book is due to hit stores tomorrow, and we've got a 25 page
preview.
The volume - a retrospective on the
artist who's shaped much of the modern look of comics, is being
published by Dynamic Forces, runs over 200 full color pages, and
carries a $29.99 price tag. The material, presented as a biography, is
written by Christopher Lawrence, with art - of course, by Perez.
As for that title? It's found at least one fan...
"I think the title Nick [Barrucci, DF President] chose for the book is very apt - Storyteller," Perez told Newsarama last year.
"That's what I do, that's what I want to do," Perez said. "I'm not here
to do storyboards for movies, I'm not here to make proposals for things
that can be spun off into movies, I do comics."

sent me the manuscript for Storyteller for a spotcheck a few weeks

skim it and look for glaring errors, but I was able to do that. I was
told it was going to the printer very shortly.
Additionally, they're running almost all of my Perez Archives checklist in the back, updated (mostly) to current releases. This should help fans track down more of George's material!

I spoke to someone at customer service
named Brian; He explained that the book is being finalized and that the
ship date should be 11/18 or soon after. Before December at the latest.
When I explained to him that I was skeptical and a little frustrated
considering I had paid for this book over a year ago (11/01/05 to be
exact!) he assured me that it would be out soon. I know we've heard
this before but I'm hoping for the best! Brian was very friendly,
apologetic and understooding of my frustration and said that our wait

so the delay has NOTHING TO DO WITH HIM. George Perez as a creator is

#4 BEST SELLER
(27 Sep 2006) |
|
I was surprised to find that Storyteller is #4 on today's "Best Sellers" list from dynamicforces.com, especially since Bret confirmed that they are not at print yet.
In the meantime, I suggest those that's already pre-paid for the book to ask for their money back if you haven't already.
I have personally had problems with certain vaporware books that I will not buy until I actually see it in print.
The best solution is to wait until this website announced when it is available to buy.
Looking around DF's website, I stumbled upon this
excerpt from the book:
 CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS #5 (Aug 1985)
|
>>>
"No one else could have done what George did," Wolfman exclaims.
"His basic storytelling was so superior to anyone’s at the time... no
one else could have come close to doing what he did."
Since there
were relatively few places within the issues for Perez to, as Wolfman
says, "do what George does best, which is draw big pictures of
incredible stuff," the artist brought his "wow-able" abilities to bear
on Crisis’ covers.
Based on a
request from Perez’s wife, who felt her husband was pushing himself too
hard on the series, Wolfman suggested his artist draw a simple cover
for Crisis’ fifth issue, an uncomplicated image featuring only three
faces and two merging Earths.
The cover
Perez submitted did contain two merging Earths—along with 96 faces.
Once the artist got started, he simply couldn’t stop drawing; if he saw
sufficient open space, he added another character’s head. He was having
too much fun to stop.
From Bret
Just wanted to give you an update, I called Dynamic Forces (www.dynamicforces.com) yesterday to find out if Storyteller
was on schedule for October as announced and they said no. Still won't
be out for a couple of months, this from Angelo Barrucci, Media
Coordinator. You know, we're coming up on this book being solicited an entire YEAR ago.
Last time I spoke with them was in March and they SWORE the book was at
the printer to be shipped the following month. So what happened, they
yanked the book back from the printer? I asked this of Mr. Barrucci and
all he had to say was, 'Uh... Uh... Uh... no comment.'
As a consumer who already PREPAID for
this book, I don't know where a publisher has the AUCACITY to solicit
for a book that quite obviously was no where NEAR DONE. A year has gone
by and nothing. More and more publishers are doing this and by
soliciting for a product that quite obviously you are no where NEAR
completing or PRINTING, making consumers pay for merchandise that they
clearly have no intention of shipping is not only FALSE ADVERTISING but
just plain FRAUD and THIEVERY.
I don't mean to be so strong but as a
company, DYNAMIC FORCES had NO BUSINESS soliciting for this project,
doing major press on it in places like COMIC SHOP NEWS where it was COVER FEATURED, when they would take well over a year to complete it.
Shame on them as a business and any consumer should BUYER BEWARE with this company going forward.

George Perez
Dynamic Forces is preparing to publish George Perez: Storyteller, the First 30 Years--a
definitive chronicle of the career (so far) of one of the most-admired
artists in comic book history. Author Christopher Lawrence recounts the
history of Perez's climb from an assistant to Deathlok creator Rich
Buckler to elite status as the master craftsman behind the epic Crisis on Infinite Earths. From his early Marvel work on the Fantastic Four and Avengers to his breakout stint at DC on the New Teen Titans,
to his work at CrossGen, Lawrence's monograph covers the arc of Perez's
career in over 200 pages filled with full color illustrations.
George Perez: Storyteller, the First 30 Years
will be published in two editions -- a regular version with a cover
price of $29.99 and in a deluxe Signed Edition ($49.99), which will be
strictly limited to initial orders only.

An excerpt from the book is available at the end of this release.
George Perez started his comics career
as an assistant to Deathlok creator Rich Buckler. In fact, George's
first work was a two-page humor piece which appeared in Marvel's
Astonishing Tales #25 which introduced Deathlock the Demolisher. George
was given fill-in jobs on two low-selling series, Man-Wolf in Creatures
on the Loose #33 and The Sons of the Tiger in Deadly Hands of Kung Fu
#6. The writers of these two series, David Kraft and Bill Mantlo,
respectively, were impressed enough with the newcomer's work to have
him become the regular penciller on both series.
The rest is history.
“It’s hard to imagine that George Perez
has been gracing the comics world for 30 years now. George has been an
idol of mine since I first started reading comics and I’m fortunate
that he’s grown to be a close friend as well over the years I’ve been
in the business,” explained DF President Nick Barrucci. “We’re honored
that the first in our series of historical and archival works,
featuring the masters of the form, will start with Storyteller,
spotlighting George!”
The book is featured in the pages of the
new Previews (pages #276 and #277) and is available for PRE-ORDER now
from your local comics shop, or direct from Dynamic Forces.

GEORGE PEREZ: STORYTELLER SHIPS IN DECEMBER
08-29-2005 09:06 PM
It’s a
retrospective, though, truth be told, if he keeps it up, it may just be
the first retrospective of a massive career in comics.
In December, Dynamic Forces will ship
Storyteller: The First Thirty Years, a 200+page volume featuring
hundreds of illustrations by Perez as well as a career-spanning
interview by Christopher Lawrence, and an all-new cover by Perez.
The $29.99 retail book begins in Perez’s
early days as an assistant to Rich Buckler, and his progression to
fill-in artist on Man-Wolf in Creatures on the Loose #33 and The Sons
of the Tiger in Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu #6. Perez became the regular
artist on both series, and a legend was born.
“It’s hard to imagine that George Perez
has been gracing the comics world for 30 years now. George has been an
idol of mine since I first started reading comics and I’m fortunate
that he’s grown to be a close friend as well over the years I’ve been

GEORGE PÉREZ - STORYTELLER: THE FIRST 30 YEARS HC
(2007)
Dynamite Entertainment |

I am currently inking the incredible Jose
Luis Garcia-Lopez on a project written by Phil Jimenez, who is also the
cover penciler, with me inking Phil. Unfortunately, beyond that, I'm
not at liberty to reveal what the project is so I've been calling it
"The EZ Company Project" since all three creators share the same last
two letters in our family names. DC Comics should be making an
announcement relatively soon and it will be a relief to finally be able
to talk about it openly.
Contrary to solicitations I have indeed
drawn the cover for FALLEN ANGELS #20. Due to a mix-up in the
scheduling it initially appeared that I couldn't do the cover, so the
regular team was told to go ahead and draw the cover. When Peter David
found out about that he reminded the editor that the deadlines had been
pushed back and even though the book had been solicited with another
cover, Peter figured few would be bummed out to find that there was a
Pérez cover after all.
I have also drawn a cover for a Marvel
Visionaries book spotlighting my 1970's run on FANTASTIC FOUR. Tom
Smith colored that piece and, as usual, did a wonderful job.
I am currently drawing a variant cover
for Top Cow's CITY OF HEROES #1 and will be drawing the cover for a
CITY OF HEROES novel called "Web of Arachnos". This should be the first
of three covers for a series of CoH novels. And since I just mentioned
Top Cow, I should also announce that I will be participating in a
special 10th Anniversary edition of WITCHBLADE. I will be drawing three
pages written by Ron Marz. And as I draw those pages I will be filmed
by a video crew for TwoMorrows' DVD companion to its MODERN MASTERS
book series.
There have been other offers, including
some covers for Dynamic Forces' RED SONYA and ARMY OF DARKNESS. I also
will be providing a cover for DF's STORYTELLER, yet another
retrospective on my career. (I am definitely being over-exposed). A
cover for ForceWerks' B.A.B.E. FORCE is also on my schedule. There have
been other one-shots I've been offered that I'm not yet free to
discuss, or yet to accept, but after "The EZ Company Project" I will be
primarily focusing my attention on completing GAMES: THE TITANS GRAPHIC
NOVEL. Inker Mike Perkins has already started on some pages and Tom
Smith has 30 pages ready to start so it's up to me to get busy so that
Marv Wolfman can start dialoguing the first half of the book.
As for conventions this year, here's my schedule for 2005 so far.
February 25-27: Mega Con in Orlando, FL.
March 18-20: Wizard World Los Angeles in Long Beach, CA
April 22-24: Pittsburgh Comicon in Monroeville, PA (I even provided the T-Shirt art)
July 14-17: Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA
September 13-17: Comic Book Festival in Avilés, Spain
Those are the confirmed shows. There is
a possibility of more, but I'm trying to limit my time away from the
drawing board this year.
