(W) Jess Harrold (A/CA) George Perez

Celebrating the artistic legacy of a true Marvel Comics legend! George Pérez first wowed fans in the 1970s, building a phenomenal reputation as a super-team illustrator without peer on AVENGERS, INHUMANS and FANTASTIC FOUR! His talents graced the super hero action of MARVEL TWO-IN-ONE, the martial-arts mayhem of DEADLY HANDS OF KUNG FU and the monster madness of Man-Wolf in CREATURES ON THE LOOSE! Years later, Pérez demonstrated his cosmic grandeur by wiping out half the Marvel Universe along with Thanos in INFINITY GAUNTLET! And as the Avengers made a heroic return in 1998, so too did Pérez, joining writer Kurt Busiek to usher Earth's Mightiest into a new era of greatness. Nobody can draw an army of heroes in a single image better than George Pérez can!

MARVEL ART OF GEORGE PEREZ (27 Apr 2021)

Excerpt: "I had seen Stan [Lee] walking around through the corridors from time to time, but never really met him," [George] Perez recalls. "After that first Fantastic Four issue came out, I got a call from his secretary saying Stan wanted to meet me. Obviously, I was thrilled. He wanted to see who this man was that he didn't recognize. He read the book making the assumption that it was drawn by Joe Sinnott, the inker, or either John Romita or John Buscema - he didn't recognize my name at all. He asked me if I was being treated well and told me right then and there that, as long as he was at Marvel, I would always have a job. Here, I was talking in the office directly to Stan Lee! Still being the fanboy I was, I brought comics with me for him to sign - Origins of Marvel Comics and a couple of other books - and he was more than gracious in signing them. The thing that amazed me through the years is that despite obvious physical changes that I've gone through and Stan's sometimes notorious reputation for having a faulty memory, he always remembered me and always asked the same question: "Why haven't we gotten to work together?" But to get that stamp of approval as a young artist... from that point on, my career was on an upward path and I never turned back."
