Legendary DC & Marvel artist George Pérez to make final UK con appearance at MCM London

 MCM COMIC CON LONDON 2019 (25-27 Oct 2019)
London, England
Legendary comic creator George Pérez is to make his final UK convention
appearance at MCM London this October, giving his many fans in Europe
the chance to celebrate one of the industry’s best-loved figures.
Formally announcing his retirement earlier this year, Pérez has thrilled
readers with his art for over four decades, drawing for a host of
landmark Marvel and DC titles.
Inducted
into the Eisner Awards Hall of Fame in 2017 and famed for his
ambitious, action-packed crowd scenes, George Pérez’s credits read like a
Who’s Who of top superheroes. However, the New York-born Pérez is
probably best known for his work on The Avengers, The New Teen Titans, Wonder Woman and the industry-changing Crisis on Infinite Earths.
George Pérez shot to prominence at Marvel with an enormously successful run on The Avengers
in the ’70s, returning to the franchise in the ’90s to relaunch the
comic book with writer Kurt Busiek. Meanwhile, Pérez made his mark at DC
with his co-creation alongside Marv Wolfman of The New Teen Titans, which became one of the publisher’s most popular titles. The pair again collaborated on the famous DC Universe reboot Crisis on Infinite Earths, widely regarded as one of the greatest comic book crossovers ever. Another triumph for Pérez at DC was his 1987 reboot of Wonder Woman, which he worked on as plotter, penciler and writer.
Other credits on Pérez’s résumé include Justice League of America, Superman, Fantastic Four, The Brave and the Bold, Batman, Supergirl, Silver Surfer and The Incredible Hulk.

I don't know what George's schedule is, but maybe there will be a panel
with Marv Wolfman (as he is also in attendance for Dragoncon). Also,
please note that George only signed two hours a day at last year's

George Perez head sketch commissions for TerrifiCon will go on sale Wednesday, July 10th, 2019 at exactly midnight (Eastern Time Zone) when Wednesday, July 10th, 2019 becomes Thursday, July 11th, 2019 .

requests that come in before midnight will be disqualified ... even if
they come in at 11:59:59 PM ..... 12 MIDNIGHT and

C2E2 and East Coast Comic Convention commission lists 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. Emails that say "Please put me on the list" do not
count and are disqualified. You MUST have all of the requested info in the email.
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 or sketch book or jam board requests are NOT accepted.
SORRY. Too many potential problems and we do not wish to be responsible
for anyone having a bad experience should the item be lost, damaged or

TERRIFICON 2019 (09-11 Aug 2019)
Mohegan Sun Expo Center, Connecticut
Good morning TERRIFICON fans, we have just received a direct message
from artist George Pérez that it is with great sorrow and deep regret
that due to circumstances beyond his control, he will not be able to
appear on Friday, August 9 as planned.
Mr. Pérez planned on returning and making TERRIFICON his final
appearance (even if just for a day) in the North East on his retirement
tour for well over a year. Great work and planning was put into
scheduling this appearance as George wanted to say one last “thank you”
to his fans.
We are working with Mr. Pérez to obtain 275 (the same amount of
autograph tickets he was going to hand out at the show) limited edition
prints that he will sign and ship to TERRIFICON to be handed out to fans
on a first come, first serve basis.
We here at TERRIFICON want to thank George for his years of great work.
Speaking for all his fans, we wish him a happy and healthy retirement.

Official George Perez Press Release (January 19, 2019)
DATE : JANUARY 19, 2019
FROM : George Pérez
To all my loyal and kind fans who have supported me throughout the decades,
In
recent months, there has been a great deal of speculation as to the
future of my career, my health, my ability to draw and my future
convention appearances. As a result, I would like to clear up everything
first hand so that, hopefully, any rumors, speculation and
misinformation can be laid to rest.
With
respect to future published work in comics and such ... while I know
it’s been no secret that I’ve been dealing with a myriad number of
health issues (diabetes, heart ailments, vision issues, etc.), they have
indeed have forced me to, for all intents and purposes, formally retire
from the business of creating new comic stories.
As
for home commission requests, I’m afraid that my retirement must now
extend to privately commissioned drawings as well. While I am gratified
that all of the customers who have received their pieces were more than
pleased with the results, some even consequently commissioning more of
them, it’s just becoming too much of a strain on my eyes to produce the
fully rendered ink and pencil-tone pieces on a quality level that
justifies the price I’m being paid for them.
In
regards to convention sketches, I will need to cut back on those as
well. While I will no longer sketch at the conventions themselves, I
will, through my art agent Spencer Beck of The Artists Choice, be taking
orders for 5 ( FIVE ) con-style head sketches, per convention day that I
am in attendance which will be done at home to be collected at the
conventions. Fans placing orders must be personally present to pick up
the piece , NO PROXIES. The price for these will be a good deal pricier
than in the past, going for $100 each, but please take some solace that
all the monies I earn for these sketches, as well as my appearance fees,
will be donated to various charities. To place an order, or for initial
details, please contact Spencer / The Artist's Choice directly at Spencerbck@aol.com. Any changes or further announcements will be made by Spencer and myself on his website theartistschoice.com/perez.htm and on my fan website george-perez.net
Furthermore,
for those that are interested … although I will only be attending about
six conventions this year and one make up convention in 2020 ( *** see below for complete schedule )
2019 will more than likely be my last year touring this great land
meeting so many great fans. As the next decade begins, I have two shows,
Dragon Con and Fetish Con that have personal meaning to me which I
intend to attend yearly unless circumstances prevent it … but, for all
intents, 2019 will wind down that part of my career as well. The good
news is, even though I will not be sketching at the shows, I will still
be autographing and be available for photo ops, and, as has been my
policy throughout my career, I will not be charging for either.
In
closing, please don’t feel sorry for me about all these life and career
changes. Thankfully I earn more than enough income through royalties to
have a comfortable life wherein I may never need to work again. Unless,
of course, something really tempting comes along and I’m given
sufficient lead time. Hey, you never know.
Long story short, I will be just fine. I’ve had a wonderfully good
run doing exactly what I have wanted to do since I was a child. Now I
can sit back and watch the stuff I helped create entertain whole new
generations. That’s a pretty nice legacy to look back on.
And so much of that is thanks to all of you, the GREATEST fans in the world. I am humbled and forever grateful.
Wishing you all a safe, happy and healthy 2019 and beyond,
UPDATE: Mr. Perez will
not be accepting requests until approximately 30 days before each
specific show. Sketches will be approved at one per person, family or
address. First come, First serve. So , please check back 30 days before
the show. He will only be doing 9 x 12 head shots and they must be paid
for in full at the time the order is accepted.

GREEN ARROW (Aug 2017)
art by George Perez
from <> Shemp
We will be taking HEAD SHOT ONLY advance orders before show
appearances. These will be the same types of drawings he has been doing
at shows for years on 9" x 12" board head shots only. Although we have
not set it in stone, most likely the price will be $50. To protect
George, we will require prepayment. You will just need to bring a
receipt to the show to pick up your piece. Although there is no
guarantee, most likely they will be more detailed than in the past as if
he is doing them at home where he won't be trying to do them as fast as
he can to get to the next fan, hence there will be the per show limit.
Of course, he is still doing the full body pencil, Copic marker ink.and
pencil tone commissions for the $700 and $1,100 levels as well. These a
full figure, fully detailed pieces that are single figures only. No
more than one figure per piece ... all subject to approval.
Exact show commission details will be announced towards the end of 2018 as we prepare for the 2019 convention circuit.
In the meantime, if you wish to order the full body pieces, please get
in touch with me at SpencerBck@aol.com to place an order, for samples or
any questions related to the full body commissions. I am sorry, NO head
shot commissions until 2019. No exceptions, I am sorry.
NOTE:
George will draw these commissions on 9x12 boards prior to the
convention appearance for pickup, so he cannot draw on your personal
sketch book or requested surfaces. Also, there will be a limit to how
many George can draw per convention appearance.

TERRIFICON 2019 (09-11 Aug 2019)
Mohegan Sun Expo Center, Connecticu
Just speculation, but it may appear that George Perez's 2019 schedule is
probably to make up for his cancellations from his 2017 shows due to
his heart attack.
So, given that information, below were his cancelled 2017 dates:
- East Coast Comic Con 2019, NJ (Confirmed)
- Terrificon 2019, Connecticut (Confirmed)
- Amazing Hawaii Comic Con 2019, Hawaii (Update: Confirmed)
- Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con 2019, Las Vegas, NV
- North American Science Fiction Convention 2019, San Juan, PR (unlikely, see note below)
- Dragon Con 2019, Atlanta, GA (Likely confirmed)
- Grand Rapids Comic Con 2019, Grand Rapids, MI
Any shows outside of the USA may unlikely to happen, as George, in his
own words, wrote in 2017: "I've been asked about several shows outside
of the USA and just wanted to say that, while I do wish I could do more
international shows, the stress of flying and going through customs and
passport control (not to mention the number of itineraries that require
multiple connections) ... there are no plans." |
