    • Marvel or DC doesn't have to ask fan permission to reprint their fan commission From Vu THE WAR OF THE REALMS (George Perez cover) (Apr 2019) Marvel Comics I was under the impression that Marvel or DC had to ask the fan who commissioned the artist... but apparently, not true according to Robert F, who had his Jim Steranko art used, but was not asked or notified. Imagine one day you go to the comic store and saw your commission on a comic book cover and had no idea how it got there? Legally, I guess they don't have to pay or ask permission... but it doesn't make it right. I've read an interview with George Perez a long time ago, that he stated that DC and Marvel grant him permission ...

    If you were wondering about the Gladiator T-Shirt in the background of George Perez's 1994 appearance at Heroes Con... it was a character that George created.

    The origin of Gladiator is that he was one of the characters in a Nightwing detective story (investigating Batman's death). The story also would introduce a female character called Plague. Her blood would kill a man instantly.

    DC rejected the Gladiator pitch, so George took the Gladiator character and Plague character - now renamed Crimson Plague (after a suggestion from his wife) and published the first book on Event Comics in 1997. Crimson Plague was published again under Gorilla Comics, in June 2000.

    George said that he lost $5,000 per issue, and financially didn't make sense to continue the book after issue #2. By this time, however, he had signed on to work at CrossGen Comics, and left Gorilla Comics in December 2000.

    I wanted to share this photo of George Perez that I took during Heroes Con 1994 in Charlotte, North Carolina. It was the first time that I met him in person. He signed me a copy of Crisis on Infinity Earths #1 that I bought at that same convention and still have.

    This gallery contains 28 photos.

    This is the third in a series of 4 post about my comic book convention going  days during the 90′s.

    It was 1994, it was the year that Jack Kirby and Don Thompson left this mortal plane for the great beyond. It was also the year I went to the city of Charlotte, North Carolina for my first Heroes Convention.  I have some very fond memories of this convention. I met George Perez and got him to sign me a copy of Crisis On Infinite Earths #1 that I bought there at cover price (and it was a pristine copy).
