Pacesetter question
« Thread started on: 01/21/05 at 7:42pm »

Hey folks! Has anyone received their prize posters from the contest? Please let me know baringer2k[a]hotmail.com (email).

And also for those interested, I still have LOTS of uncut covers... yours for the taking. Just pay postage and the cost of the mailing tube, ($5.50) and extras cost just the extra weight, which I put at roughly 35 cents each. That ought to easily cover the postage!

Thanks!
Marcus

Just a quick mentioning that I got the fanzine in the mail and that I am really impressed with the new printing. It is printed from a digital source, so there is only slight data loss, and I have to say that it looks terrific - especially the color cover. All the grayscale images (photographs) reproduced in the magazine no longer looks like a mess (at least from what I remembered).

I have not read everything, but what I did read, it is great read. The majority of the book looks like they are interviews or stories written by comic book professionals who worked with George Perez (like Kurt Busiek, Jerry Ordway, and Tom Smith).

I encourage you to pick up an issue yourself from Tony Lorenz (email).

PACESETTER 5 uncut covers - Yours for the taking!
« Thread started on: 01/18/05 at 12:46am »

Hey folks! I've got a TON of PACESETTER #5 uncut covers (both 1-up and 2-up) for grabs. I only charge the postage cost, as well as the mailing tube to send them in, which comes to $5.50. If you want more than one, each additional poster will cost 35 cents, just to cover any extra postage cost for weight. Email me at baringer2k[a]hotmail.com (email) if you'd like a copy. I accept payment by PayPal, or you can send a check, money order, or cash by mail.

Contest
« Thread started on: 12/28/04 at 4:52pm »

Hi everyone and happy Holidays, Marcus came up with a great idea for a contest, the first 10 people to email me by January 10 correctly identify all 25 characters on the cover will win a rolled, uncut press-sheet (oversized poster-sized) with the cover on it twice. Remember the deadline is January 10 and the first 10 people that are correct will win. You can see the link to the cover on Vu site or e-mail me at TLorenz101[a]aol.com (email) to see the cover and to e-mail your answers.

« Reply #2 on: 12/29/04 at 8:15pm »

I want to let every one know there are 27 characters on the cover, not 25, I just want to clear up the confusion, there are now 3 winners.

Also PACESETTER 5 has been shipped from the printers, I just got two advance copies in the mail today, and I was floored, I went with a new printer and I'm very happy with the results, it's not that I was not happy with my old printers, very nice guy and did the best of what he could do with what he had available. But the new company is a much bigger outfit and has the technology to put out a far superior product, everyone that advance ordered will be floored like me.

« Reply #3 on: 01/02/05 at 10:38am »

9 winners already only one more to go.

Happy New Year!!!!!!

« Reply #4 on: 01/03/05 at 1:47pm »

We have are ten winners, congrats everyone that won.

Happy Holidays

Hi everyone I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and and a happy New Year, I'm sorry I haven't posted anything lately work and the Holidays have consumed my time.

Just a little up date on PACESETTER #5, from what I'm told it is looking awesome, I believe the printing is about done and the binding is about to begin, from what I'm told from Marcus the printing is breathtaking so everyone that ordered, you have a really treat coming your way and those who haven't order I will have some copies for sale, after I shipped out the advance orders.

Thanks for all the support. In a few dates I have more big news on PACESETTER #6 and 7 stay tuned...

Pacesetter #5 is currently at press. It's likely to be completed within the next 2 to 3 weeks, and ship from that point to Tony and to Diamond.

Re: Now taking orders for PACESETTER 5
« Reply #1 on: 10/25/04 at 3:11pm »

Hi just want to remind everyone that there is only one week left on advance orders, it needs to be post dated no later than November 1, you can still order after that but you'll pay cover price, shipping and no free prints.

Hi everyone, a few people have already jump the gun on advance ordering PACESETTER issue 5, so I'm going to go a head and start taking orders for this very special issue. This year celebrates George's 30 years in comics, and that is the theme of PACESETTER issue 5.

To make this a very special issue, not only do we have an all star cast of contributors to the issue (Busiek, Englehart, Ordway, T. Smith, Brevoort, Tony Isabella and many more.....) but this issue is a double sized issue, 128 pages issue!!!!

The cover price is $12.95 US, but for advance orders you get it for:

$11.00 postage paid US
$13.00 postage paid Canada
$15.00 postage paid International (paypal only)

And for advance ordering you'll receive not one but two bonus prints that you can not buy anywhere. This is my way to thank you for advance ordering and for all the support everyone has PACESETTER. The cut off date for advance orders is November first. I will take orders after that but the price will be:

$12.95 + $1.00 for first copy and .50 for each additional copy US
$14.95 + $1.00 for first copy and .50 for each additional copy
$16.95 + $1.00 for first copy and .50 for each additional copy

And you will not receive bonus prints on all orders post dated after November first.

The release date is the end of November/ first of December, and truthfully it looks more like the first of December.

I still need feedback for issue for and I still need responses for the question of the issue. "Even after 30 years in the business why is George as popular as ever?"

Product Updates
Thursday, September 02, 2004 7:51:52 AM

New information on products since Previews was released.

MAGAZINES

Please note that Pacesetter: The George Pérez Magazine #5 (SEP043059) was erroneously solicited at a price of $6.95. The issue -- which will be a double issue running 128 pages -- will carry a cover price of $12.95.

PACESETTER, THE GEORGE PEREZ MAGAZINE #5 (2005)

Cover is a modified version of the cover to THE ORLANDO SENTINEL (29 Mar 1999). The artwork also appeared on the interior pages to WINGER TIGER COMICS & STORIES #8 (Mar 2001). To view a larger scan of the cover, go to: albums.photo.epson.com/../69391177. The cover is recolored by Tom Smith, who, I believe, also colored the ORLANDO SENTINEL cover, back in 1999. Scan courtesy of Marcus Mebes and Tony Lorenz (email).

mistake in Previews
« Thread started on: 08/27/04 at 7:09pm »

Hi every I just got the new PREVIEWS today and there was a big mistake in my listing of my next issue of PACESETTER #5, the cover price should read $12.95 not $6.95, this issue will be a double sized issue and I would be losing my shirt if I published it at $6.95 (Diamond get 60%). I left a message with Diamond so I really don't know what the procedure is, hopefully I'll get it worked out.

George is out of town, so as soon as he gets back, I'll get the balance of PACESETTER #4 autographed, so everyone that hasn't received their copies yet, I do apologize.

PEREZ FAN AROUND THE WORLD FEATURE
« Thread started on: 07/28/04 at 3:23pm »

Hi everyone, I thought I had one for next issue of PACESETTER "30 years in comics issue", but I guess I don't, I need an article from some one living outside the US. There is no length requirement and it can be anything that relates to George Perez. You can e-mail me the feature and if there is any certain art that you want in your article you can e-mail it to me (hi-res scan) or you can mail good quality copies, I prefer if possible copies of versions from your country. By contributing you will get the issue free, and this issue coming up will probably be $18.95 US, so that would be a big saving for you, it will be a double sized issue, e-mail me (email) if you have any questions.

I'm calling him before I go into work tomorrow, stay tuned. Re: PACESETTER#4: GEORGE'S 30 YEARS IN COMICS « Reply #2 on: 06/02/04 at 6:13pm » Just added Steve Englehart (George's first writer on the Avengers) and Kurt Busiek ( you all know who he is), to the list of contributors. It's going to be exciting.

PACESETTER #5: GEORGE'S 30 YEARS IN COMICS
« Thread started on: 05/31/04 at 5:54pm »

Hi gang, happy holidays everyone. Issue #4 is at the printers as we speak. I now need material for PACESETTER #5, the theme of the issue is that this year is George 30 years in comics and this is my little part to help celebrate the event and I need your help. I've got an all star line-up so far on articles (Tony Isabella, Jim Krueger, Tom Brevoort, Tom Smith and J. A. Fludd and I'm working on several more involved), I need more, the topics are endless, you've got 30 years of material to write about.

This issue is going to be a big issue, minimum of 100 pages. The questions of the issue is "What is your favorite single comic by George over the last 30 years and why?". I also need trivia and I really what to make this gallary pretty special, so I need copies of art from you private collection, everyone who contibute something receives discounts up to free copy of the issue.

Remember, my magazine is by PEREZ FANS, FOR PEREZ FANS. So it's only as good and contribution. George by the way is contributing a brand new cover for the issue and Tom Smith has offered to color it. As much as I'm excited for everyone to see the next issue, the TEEN TITAN THEME ISSUE, thank you Marcus Mebes, this issue has even more potential of being a monster of an issue.

If you have any question on contributing please let me know at TLorenz101(a)aol.com

Wonder Woman issue of PACESETTER delay
« Thread started on: 04/09/04 at 10:28pm »

I've been thinking about it for over a month now, I'm making it official, the Wonder Woman issue will now be issue #6 not issue #5, the reason is I really don't want to screw up and not get the 30th Anniversary issue out on time, being this is a two man show. I still need material for both issues now, both issue still may come out this year, but most likely the Wonder Woman issue will be out in January, I hope that doesn't upset anybody, I just want to put out the best quality material. I hoping for some really special things for the 30th Anniversary. I always need contributors, please e-mail me (email) if you are interested in contributing.

p.s. Issue #4 is basicly done, just making some minor correction, this issue is going to be awesome.

PACESETTER 5 and 6
Thread started on: 02/29/04 at 11:20am

Hi everyone, me again, it's never too early to get material for the next two issues, I'm pretty well set on issue four, now it's time to think about the next two issues that will come out this year #5 (Wonder Woman theme issue) and #6 (30th Anniversary issue), I have material for both issues but I need a lot more, remember if you contribute and article you get a free copy of the issue also you can receive discounts or free copy if you contribute copies of George's art that you have (original comic pages, con sketches, commission art, penciled pages, etc...), I'll also need responce to the question of the issue, trivia and more... if you have any questions please e-mail me Tony at mailto:TLorenz101@aol.com, remember my magazine is By PEREZ fans for PEREZ fans, and it's only as good as the contributions.
