[NYCC] MASTER OF SUPERHERO ART: GEORGE PEREZ
Posted February 25, 2007 1:10 PM
By Matt Powell

(excerpt)

Sadly, attendees at the panel may have seen the last of Perez at public conventions for the foreseeable future, as the artist explained he would be taking a much-needed break soon to focus on family and his work. But don’t think this is the end of Perez, as the artist revealed that this June will mark his 33rd year as a pro in the comic business and he’s still got plenty more to give.

NEW YORK COMIC CON 2007 (23-25 Feb 2007)

(excerpt)

We talked about the New York Comic Con before, but we didn’t know just how many New Yorkers have had a major influence on that business. It shouldn’t be a surprise, since the world’s two biggest comic book publishers are based here. Marvel Comics‘ offices are on 5th Ave. between 37th and 38th St; DC Comics is on Broadway, between 53rd and 54th. Still, we didn’t know how many New Yorkers have had an effect on the comics we read and loved as kids. We’re all about bringing attention to the New Yorkers you may not hear about, so here’s a quick look at four Real New Yorkers who’ve made a splash in the comics business. All four will be appearing at the Comic Con, so go out & support them.

* The Bronx’s George Perez is among most influential artists in comics history. In his 30 years as an illustrator he’s drawn every major character in comics, from Superman to The Avengers. His art is noted for its detail and realism, adding new depth to stories and paving the way for the more complex and literate comics that dominate the market now. “Perez Park” in City Of Heroes is named after him.

Ah, another fantastic commission from The Man himself: George Perez! George will be taking a break from cons for two years to support his wife, who will be going back into dancing. So after 2007, we won't see any Perez con appearances for a couple of years! As usual, George was his friendly self, cheerfully signing autographs and answering fan questions.

Lucky me, I won the "Perez lottery" on Saturday to get a commission. I chose Changeling since, I haven't seen George draw many commissions of everyone's favorite green shape-shifter. So here he is! Man, I love this piece.

As always, George is donating all proceeds from his commissions to the HERO fund, which supports aging comic creators in need. Whatta guy!

(excerpt)

"The disadvantage of not having any formal art training was that I learned as I went, and I made all the mistakes [in the view] of the editorial staff and the fan public," explained Perez. "I asked [editors] why they put up with the awkward drawings and lack of detail, and they said [they put up with it] because my storytelling was strong. And in comics, that’s what will give you a long career."

In addition, Perez mentioned that coming to NYCC was a chance to see a number of creators that he owes his career to, dating back to the time he illustrated The Fantastic Four.

"Joe Sinnott made me look good," beamed Perez. "He made Stan Lee give me a phone call to see who this artist was [on] Fantastic Four he never heard of. [He thought] it was either [John] Romita [Sr.] or [John] Buscema. Thank you, Joe! And Stan gave me my very first raise that day."

NEW YORK COMIC CON 2007 (23-25 Feb 2007)

George Perez was standing there right in the middle of NY Comic Con's Artist Alley, and hardly anyone noticed.

"They don't know it's me," he joked. "That's because I'm not wearing a Hawaiian shirt."

(excerpt)

One other bit of information Perez imparted was to enjoy his presence while you can, Hawaiian shirts or not. Perez will not be making to many more convention appearances for the foreseeable future.

"That's because I work on a monthly magazine," Perez acknowledged, "and I'm tired of doing pages in my hotel room."

by John W. Smith, Contributing Writer
Posted: February 24, 2007

NEW YORK COMIC CON 2007 (23-25 Feb 2007)

The second DC Universe panel at the New York Comic-Con began ten minutes behind schedule as the Hellboy sneak peek ran behind schedule. As audience members filed in, DC Comics Executive Editor Dan Didio began introducing panelists. First was "Brave and the Bold" artist George Perez. Didio asked him what characters won't be seen in the title. "No such thing as won't," Perez replied. He said the irony of "Brave and the Bold" is that when he heard it was being relaunched he was already assigned to another title. Didio then called him to ask if he could start the series out. Expect him to be on the title for at least the first year or nine issues. "If you like it," Perez said, "we'll see after the first year."

(excerpt)

Any chance for George Perez doing any work on "Nightwing"? "Will Nightwing be around that long?" Wayne said. There are plans in Nightwing to bring back a "previous character he used to have interaction with."
