I've
always enjoyed the Pittsburgh ComiCon because the atmosphere of the
show is somewhere between a large Con's expansiveness and a smaller
Con's relaxed feel. Plus it is one of the few Cons I can actually drive
to. I don't understand why we can't get a decent sized Con in Cleveland
!
As
usual my son Ashton and I got to the Con about a half hour before the
doors open on Friday and the line was already about 50 people deep.
There were plenty of good artists to see. Unfortunately Michael Turner
could not attend because of help reasons and neither could Michael
Kaluta. George Perez was there
as always raising money for the Make a Wish foundation. Sal Buscema was
one of the headliners and he had a steady line at his table where he
was also doing head sketches for the Make a Wish foundation when I
snapped his picture I dropped a dollar in the bucket. J.G. Jones, Scott
McDaniel, Ron Frenz, Ron Garney, Mark Texiera, Joe Linsner, David Mack,
Angel Medina, Tommy Castillo, Gene Gonzales, Tom Smith, Scott Rosema,
Billy Tucci, Casey Jones, and many many (many) others were in
attendance.

Mr. Perez takes questions while they cut the cake. Not to be confused with cutting the cheese.

Pittsburgh and Beyond

This year for Pittsburgh Comicon The wife and I stuck to the panels and events.
First off Terry Moore is amazingly articulate and I seriously hope he
writes a novel, cause people would seriously be amazed by his skill
with words. I am not ashamed to say I read SiP and if you don't then
you definitely should.
George Perez and I have the same hairstyle. He talked about New Teen
Titans #1 on the baxter paper and why he had a scene with two
consenting adults in a bed across from a giant demon trying to eat a
deaf guy.
The comic book legal defense league are a bunch of smart, fun and
sucessfull people and I really need to learn to run battletech
tournaments in order to help them out next year.

A Day at the Pittsburgh Comicon
Saturday, April 23, 2005
On Friday
I made the trek from my small town in Western PA, to the Pittsburgh
Comicon in Monroeville. It's been nearly 12 years since I went to this
thing and wasn't sure what to expect. So I conservatively paid the one
day entry fee and checked out the place with my cousin.
Our first
stop was with the main man himself, George Perez. It was early and a
lot of people were either at work or school so the lines weren't too
long. We were able to get to Perez in a few minutes. He was a very nice
guy. He signed my Judas Contract TPB and we parted ways.

Pittsburgh Comicon - Comic Genius
04/21/2005
Bill Vidonic, Times Staff
Beaver County Times Allegheny Times 2005
Comic book artist George Perez is getting old enough to be a
grandfather to a new legion of fans enamored of his work, which
features intricately detailed drawings of some of today's biggest
superheroes, including Superman, Batman and Captain America.
Even at
the age of 50, with more than 30 years in the comic industry, Perez
said he's not ready to rest on his laurels just yet, constantly
challenging himself to attract even more new fans.
"If I can
nab them in their first viewing of my work, I can be viable in this
industry again," Perez said. "Hopefully, my best work will be ahead of
me. I gotta keep going. I can't just be satisfied with what I've done."
Perez will
be one of the headliners at the annual Pittsburgh Comicon, Friday
through Sunday at the Pittsburgh ExpoMart at the Monroeville Mall.
Others set to attend include Margot Kidder, best known as Lois Lane in
several "Superman" movies, and Ernie Hudson, one of the movie
"Ghostbusters."
Though
he's been cutting back on convention appearances, Perez said he's
always glad to come to the Pittsburgh convention for several reasons.
First, he said, it's more of a family atmosphere and concentrates on
the comic industry.
Second,
Perez uses his convention appearances to raise money for various
charities, including Make-A-Wish, and he said that his Pittsburgh
appearances are among the most profitable for that charity. Perez, in a
phone interview last week from his Florida home, said he's already
lined up about $3,000 in donations, "and I haven't even hit the
convention floor."

From George Perez
I am currently inking the incredible Jose
Luis Garcia-Lopez on a project written by Phil Jimenez, who is also the
cover penciler, with me inking Phil. Unfortunately, beyond that, I'm
not at liberty to reveal what the project is so I've been calling it
"The EZ Company Project" since all three creators share the same last
two letters in our family names. DC Comics should be making an
announcement relatively soon and it will be a relief to finally be able
to talk about it openly.
Contrary
to solicitations I have indeed drawn the cover for FALLEN ANGELS #20.
Due to a mix-up in the scheduling it initially appeared that I couldn't
do the cover, so the regular team was told to go ahead and draw the
cover. When Peter David found out about that he reminded the editor
that the deadlines had been pushed back and even though the book had
been solicited with another cover, Peter figured few would be bummed
out to find that there was a Perez cover after all.
I have
also drawn a cover for a Marvel Visionaries book spotlighting my 1970's
run on FANTASTIC FOUR. Tom Smith colored that piece and, as usual, did
a wonderful job.
I am
currently drawing a variant cover for Top Cow's CITY OF HEROES #1 and
will be drawing the cover for a CITY OF HEROES novel called "Web of
Arachnos". This should be the first of three covers for a series of CoH
novels. And since I just mentioned Top Cow, I should also announce that
I will be participating in a special 10th Anniversary edition of
WITCHBLADE. I will be drawing three pages written by Ron Marz. And as I
draw those pages I will be filmed by a video crew for TwoMorrows' DVD
companion to its MODERN MASTERS book series.
There have
been other offers, including some covers for Dynamic Forces' RED SONYA
and ARMY OF DARKNESS. I also will be providing a cover for DF's
STORYTELLER, yet another retrospective on my career. (I am definitely
being over-exposed). A cover for ForceWerks' B.A.B.E. FORCE is also on
my schedule. There have been other one-shots I've been offered that I'm
not yet free to discuss, or yet to accept, but after "The EZ Company
Project" I will be primarily focusing my attention on completing GAMES:
THE TITANS GRAPHIC NOVEL. Inker Mike Perkins has already started on
some pages and Tom Smith has 30 pages ready to start so it's up to me
to get busy so that Marv Wolfman can start dialoguing the first half of
the book.
As for conventions this year, here's my schedule for 2005 so far.
February 25-27: Mega Con in Orlando, FL.
March 18-20: Wizard World Los Angeles in Long Beach, CA
April 22-24: Pittsburgh Comicon in Monroeville, PA (I even provided the T-Shirt art)
July 14-17: Comic-Con International in San Diego, CA
September 13-17: Comic Book Festival in Aviles, Spain
Those are
the confirmed shows. There is a possibility of more, but I'm trying to
limit my time away from the drawing board this year.
