George created this amazing piece of art
for Wizard: The Guide To Comics for its Last Man Standing feature.
Appearing in Wizard #105 it featured these two super-teams squaring off
in the ultimate "what if" battle in an issue of Wizard devoted to the
Greatest things in Comics.
This 19-by-19 inch masterpiece, both
inked and penciled by George himself, features 25 members of each team
about to square, and this is one of the few pieces that will be made
available once the series comes out this summer. Also included in this
original artwork selection are two concept drawings, one of the
original proposal to Wizard, the second the final layout as approved by
the Wizard design staff that was used as a template for the final piece
you see in its colored form here.
Notes: The actual piece of art that the winning bid will receive is not colored!
The art is currently framed and matted with both sketches.
Comic battles you never thought you'd see: JLA vs Avengers
Art by George P�rez, originally published in WIZARD #105
With the mini-series just months away we
decided to give you our version of what the titanic tussle known as
JLA/Avengers would entail (try saying that five times fast). Last Man
Standing Presents: JLA vs Avengers!
THE PLAYERS... Truly the World�s
Greatest Superheroes, the JLA will stop at nothing to right the world�s
wrongs. While the roster may constantly changeth, the cause forever
stays the course. They are Earth�s mightiest heroes: The Avengers.
THE BATTLE... Welcome to World
War III. With millions of lives in the balance, the JLA and Avengers
face off in the ultimate showdown. Following a rousing cry of �Avengers
Assemble!,� Earth�s Mightiest Heroes prepare for battle. As Captain
America sizes up his counterpart Batman, he barks out orders to his
fellow Avengers. Thor, not missing a beat, hurls his enchanted hammer
Mjolnir at Superman, knocking him clear of the battle. The Odinson
chases down the Last Son of Krypton, starting an epic battle of their
own which ends with the Asgardian victorious� barely. Meanwhile, just
as Firestorm turns Cap�s shield into cotton candy, Quasar bursts in to
give the element-arranger a serious pounding. And the heroes continue
to fall. Wonder Woman trounces She-Hulk. Namor snags Aquaman�s harpoon
as his prize. The Flash runs rings around Quicksilver. And the battle
continues. Orion and Big Barda almost reach their limit as Goliath and
Hercules fall. Green Arrow and Zatanna drop before Hawkeye and Scarlet
Witch. Iron Man�s energy (and experience) knocks Green Lantern out. And
when the dust finally settles, there stands Captain America, Iron Man
and Thor, facing Batman, Captain Marvel, Martian Manhunter, Wonder
Woman, Orion and Big Barda. And while the battle continues to rage on
for hours, the Avengers ultimately collapse before the sheer might of
the World�s Greatest Superheroes: the JLA.

while you're at it, send us your ideas for future Last Man Standing
battles! Just e-mail us at feedback@wizarduniverse.com
On a two page spread, George Perez drew out the battles:

Barda vs. Hercules, Fire vs. Firestar, Red Tornado vs. Justice, Martian
Manhunter vs. Vision, Hawkman vs. Falcon, Firestorm vs. Quasar, Steel

And this was the text written adjacent to the battle from WIZARD #105:

MASTERPIECE THEATER
George P�rez JLA/Avengers Art Hits the eBay Big Time
By Christopher Lawrence
George P�rez will take an ocean voyage to Scandinavia this
summer...paid for by his maiden voyage into the world of
online auctions.
The "ultimate
George P�rez fan
collector piece,"
a spread
depicting a battle
between the
Justice League of
America and the
Mighty Avengers,
sold on the eBay
auction site
[www.ebay.com]
in May for a
whopping $6,302.
"I was stunned,"
P�rez said of the
results. "I�m quite
pleased."
The online battle for the art, which appeared in the "Last
Man Standing" feature in Wizard #105, was just as heated
as the epic conflict depicted in P�rez�s pencils.
Twelve bidders went head to head over the piece during
the week-long auction, tossing out a total of 35 bids.
Eventual champion Scott Isaacson delivered the winning bid
just nine minutes prior to the auction�s close.
So what possessed him to fork over six grand for a piece of
artwork?
"I�m crazy," he laughed. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime
chance... It�s just so unique."
Isaacson, who was the first person to bid on the art, paid
close attention to the auction�s status--even more so than
P�rez. The artist admitted he checked on the auction�s
status from time to time, but said such efforts were
basically unnecessary: "I had so many people calling me
and updating me on it...Most people were quite astounded."
Sure, $6,302 is more than the average P�rez groupie can
afford, but the piece is definitely worth it. In addition to its
obvious value as a George P�rez original, the artwork may
just mark the last time fans get to see the JLA face off
against the Avengers.
"I can�t imagine they�ll ever get that book together," P�rez
said. "They�ve had ample opportunity...if they didn�t try to
seriously act upon it during the time when JLA and
Avengers are at their hottest, I can�t see any other time
they�re going to do it."
Artist Joe Jusko hopes to duplicate P�rez�s eBay success.
Working in conjunction with Wizard, the renowned artist will
auction the Sabretooth, Mystique and Professor X covers
he painted for Wizard: The Comics Magazine.
The three pieces will go up for auction sequentially, with
the first one beginning Monday, June 26.

May 17, 2000 PÉREZ ART AUCTION Wizard Auctions George Perez Artwork from Wizard #105
Nearly 20 years ago, George Pérez started work on what could
have been one of the legendary comic battles of all-time:
The Justice League of America versus The Mighty Avengers.
But due to company politics between DC and Marvel, the project
was killed, and never saw the light of day.
Until now.
Pérez went back to the drawing board one last time for Wizard #105, The Greatest Issue ever, and created one of the most memorable Last Man Standings ever with the two teams
pairing off in classic Pérez fashion.
To further defuse one of the comicdom’s most egregious oversights,
Wizard has joined forces with Pérez and is auctioning
off this one-of-a-kind piece of original art on E-Bay as you
read this.
The 19-by-19 inch masterpiece, both inked and penciled by Pérez,
features 25 members of each team about to square of, and is
the last time he will ever draw these two teams together.
Also offered on E-bay as part of the
package are two concept drawings by Pérez, one of the original proposal
to Wizard, the second the final layout as approved by the Wizard design
staff, which was used as a template for the final piece you see in its
colored form here.
The bidding on this item closes on Monday, May 22 a little after 5:41 p.m. EST. To check out the auction, click here:

Quite simply, this is the
ultimate George P�rez fan collector piece. Nearly 20 years ago, George
started work on what could have been one of the legendary comic battles
of all-time, the ultimate conflict that fans are still been waiting
for: The Justice League of America versus The Mighty Avengers. But due
to comic book company politics, the project was killed and never saw
the light of day.
Until now.

Comics for its Last Man Standing feature. Appearing in Wizard #105 it

And now Wizard Entertainment is proud to partner with George
P�rez himself to auction this original comic book art collectors dream
off, so someone can own this amazing, original piece of art in its
un-colored form, and be a part of comic book history. This 19-by-19
inch masterpiece, both inked and penciled by George himself, features

George will ever draw these two teams together.
