13th Dimension: George Perez's first DC work - FirestormFrom 13thdimension.com
FLASH #289 (Sep 1980)

Excerpt: And what was interesting in working on that book with Gerry Conway — the creator, with Al Milgrom, of Firestorm — is that he was giving me the same exact scripts he gave Al. … So basically I have to draw this without looking like I’m drawing Al’s book now.
So, I deliberately couldn’t look at Al Milgrom’s artwork so I could pace it my way, lay it out my way, have the angles being my interpretation of it, but I thought, “Gerry got paid twice now.” (Laughter.) This is the same script! But it was fun.
What was interesting is that if you saw the credits on the ...

The IRS has finally got around to penalizing (with interest) to
writer Peter David for tax invasion for taxes owed for the Canadian
television show Space Cases (1996-1997).
I continue to be stunned by the generosity of both
fans and friends. It never occurred to me that we would reach the
$55,000 level in four days.
It helps that I have some incredibly generous friends. George Takei,
JMS and Wendy & Richard Pini each donated $1000 on GoFundMe while
George Perez donated an astounding $5000.
Meanwhile I went to the PO box today for the first time, wondering if
I would find anything to autograph. Instead there were simply half a
dozen letters (and one card) with checks enclosed. They weren’t asking
for anything; they were instead thanking me for the years of enjoyment
they’ve derived from my work. I assume because they sent checks they
want anonymity, but one fan–you know who you are, Susan–sent a check for
$2000. It’s astounding.
You have to understand that being a writer (or an artist for that
matter) is fundamentally a lonely life. You have no coworkers in your
office typically. It’s just you and the computer screen or art board,
and you do your work and toss it out there and hope that maybe, just
maybe, people like your work. If this endeavor to get myself out from
under has proven anything to me, it’s that you guys are terrific. It
makes my life’s work seem worthwhile.
While I'm not a fan of all of Peter David's work, I am a huge fan of
artist George Perez. And I've enjoyed Sachs' and Violens' appearances
in Fallen Angel.
This trade paperback collects the
original miniseries from 1993, where writer Peter David uses these
characters to examine the differences between sex and violence, which
are so often grouped together, while being nothing alike.
That said, the story itself isn't high
art. It's exploitative. It features a softcore "adult" model (Sachs)
and photographer (Violens) in an adventure taking them through the
seedy world of snuff movies, and beyond. It's a fun read, albeit
nothing groundbreaking. Just fun.
Just a reminder that Sachs and Violens TPB, What If Classic Vol. 3 TPB and Crisis on Infinite Earths Series 3 action figures are scheduled to ship on December 6, 2006.

Juanita Jean Sachs is a

They are two people who

INFINITE CRISIS is the hardcover collection of the hottest story in

Four heroes, trapped in limbo since the

is dying, one wants to save her and restore an entire world that
vanished and the other two seek unrivaled power. The plan they concoct
is literally earth-shattering, and the world’s greatest superheroes may
not be enough to stop their attempt to alter the very nature of
reality.
This special edition features artist
sketches, a cover gallery and lots of behind-the-scenes information,
making it the must-have collection of this soon-to-be-legendary event
in comics history.

El mercado de los cómics hace que, en
ocasiones, algunos cómics antiguos sean difíciles de encontrar. Esto
provoca que los lectores tengan que buscarlos o que, por otra parte,
esperen que la editorial los publique de nuevo. Este es el caso de
Sachs & Violens, miniserie que será recopilada por DC Comics en un
solo volumen.
Esta miniserie propiedad de sus autores,
que en su día fue publicada por Epic Comics en los EEUU y en 1994
Planeta DeAgostini Cómics hizo lo propio en nuestro país, cuenta la
historia de Juanita Jean Sachs y Ernie Violens, una modelo de revistas
para adultos y su fotógrafo, respectivamente. Detrás de este
disparatado e interesante relato hay dos grandes autores, el primero de
ellos es Peter David, conocidísimo guionista de series tan importantes
como Supergirl, Aquaman o Young Justice. En los lápices tenemos al no
menos conocido George Pérez, reconocidísimo por su trabajo en Nuevos
Titanes, Wonder Woman y Crisis en las Tierras Infinitas, entre muchas
otras colecciones.
DC Comics, editorial a la que Pérez y
David han cedido los derechos de la obra para esta nueva edición de la
misma, recopilará, el próximo mes de diciembre, esta espectacular
miniserie en un volumen de 128 páginas que hará las delicias tanto de
los seguidores de ambos autores como de los lectores que no pudieron
comprar la serie en su día.
Ah, y los que queráis una nueva edición española de Sachs & Violens. ¡Ya sabéis dónde pedirla!

“The advantage here was that Peter and I
own the copyrights to Sachs and Violens, and once Marvel stopped using
it, it was pretty easy to get, which is how Peter was able to use them
in Fallen Angel,” Perez told Newsarama when asked how the collection
ended up at DC. “As a reprint collection, it bounced around from one
company to another, and it seemed like it was going to be reprinted at
another house, but when DC offered to reprint the original series,
which kind of stunned me, the other publisher, very nicely, gave up the
rights, and I think everyone kind of acknowledged that DC will probably
provide a bigger presence for it.”
Perez said that he really wasn’t too
involved in the details further than that, pointing to David as the
prime mover. “The advantage to working on a book where you have someone
as…for lack of a better term, aggressive, as Peter, is that I
can let him do the work as far as the negotiations go, and I’m there to
draw the book, or provide the art that’s needed.”
