The key, pay the early access fee....It’s worth it!! Majority of the complainers are the general admissions.

Knowing Mr. Perez is retiring and these are his last shows, do your research and get up early, get there early and you will see him.

Lucked out and he signed my 12 comics on Friday and 5 on Saturday. Keep in mind in both days we waited each 1-1/2 to 2hrs on line outside/lobby before going in. In addition, waited 1-1/2 to 2 hours both days waiting at his table line (behind the VIPS and Exhibitors) before we saw Mr. Perez....TOTALLY EXPECTED AND WORTH IT!!!!

Remember, any caps to lines or limits to how many you can have signed is discussed by the artist and organizers of the show, mainly so others get a chance, breaks for Mr Perez because he does deserve it and for safety wise as the Fire Marshall sets these restrictions and they will shut it down (my brother is a firefighter) if the lines get out of hand. Note, I heard Mr Perez was sign late Friday (heard until 9) because he loves his fans.

Shannon Lower was awesome holding it down, great job and was awesome.

If you are going to Vegas or TerricCon....Be prepared and get there early and pay the extra $$$ If early access is offered.

Good Luck everyone!!

Only reason I came to east coast stayed on that line 5 and half hours but it was worth seeing his reaction to my Raven Cosplay.

He was such a nice man to talk to and very sweet, I was happy to able to talk with him. I almost fainted when he gave me a kiss on the forehead.

While it took an extremely long wait line, it was a honor to meet the legendary George Perez, who is such a nice man. I wish you good luck with your retirement, good sir!

For East Coast Comic Convention

Commissions will go on sale the night of April 16th at exactly midnight (Eastern Time Zone) when it becomes April 17th. I use the time stamp as given by my email host ( spencerbck@aol.com ) and they have the final word as to when it is received, not I. Any requests that come in before midnight will be disqualified ... even if they come in at 11:59:59 PM ..... 12 MIDNIGHT and not a second earlier. Bear in mind that for C2E2 commissions sold out in FOUR SECONDS (Yes, at 12:00:04 all commissions were sold out) so make sure to get your order in as quickly as possible at the deadline.

Please make sure to include your EXACT request as any emails that come in without the character are disqualified and discarded. All orders must have your first and last name in them as well the exact request. Remember, Mr. Perez is doing single character, head shots ONLY and nothing else. One request per person, per name, per household, per family, or per address. You must be present at the show to pick up the artwork in person ... NO PROXIES. Sketch cover requests are not possible at this time. SORRY. Too many potential problems and we do not wish to be responsible for anyone having a bad experience should the comic be lost, damaged or destroyed anywhere in the process or shipping thereof. Finally, he is doing only 15 commissions total for the show. There will be no on site drawing done.

I hope this is not too blunt, and hopefully, this answers all outstanding questions. We reserve the right to adjust the rules should some unforeseen question come up that has not yet been addressed.

There are a lot of convention organizers and fans asking George Perez to appear at their show. I can confirm that George will not be adding any new convention dates. These 2019 dates will be George's final appearances (with the exceptions of Fetishcon and Dragoncon, of course).

If anything changes, I will let you know. Thank you for your interests. Please come out to say hi and goodbye.
