And this might be my favorite cover, but it's a tie with the Infinity Gauntlet cover. Loved the way he drew Donna and Wonder Woman. Made them both look like super smokeshows. Definitely going to save some funds for the reprint omnibus of vol. 1 of The New Teen Titans and Wonder Woman coming out later this year.

SHIT! One of my favorite of 2 artists that truly shaped my love of comics from 1978-present have left us. John Byrne being the other. Without hyperbole I can say George Perez joins David Bowie at the only 2 entertainers, creators that I cried when i heard the news of their deaths.

One of my favorite panels was when he took over JLA, after Dick Dillin's sudden death, when Big Barda runs into Granny Goodness, as she flees from Wonder Woman... That look says it all! Perez didn't have to draw what Barda did to her. That expression of anger and disgust says it all and lets our imagination fill in the rest. Loved this sequence, from JLA #183, where the revealed the "true" origin of Red Tornado, as TO Morrow has him back under his control.... Just great pacing to the action and Aquaman gets a nice bit of action, before he gets zapped. He was also adept at humor, like when The Impossible Man went on a rampage, in the Marvel offices....

I had the pleasure of meeting George a few years back at a local show. He signed some books for me and did a Superman head sketch, which is framed and holds a place of honor in my office. Sad to hear that he has passed, even more so knowing that he was still relatively young and could have had many more years of conventions and fan interactions had it not been for his various health problems. I admire his bravery and positive spirit in the past year, knowing the end was coming but facing it with grace and gratitude for what life has given him. I can't think of many creators who are as universally respected and loved as George was. Whenever I read online chatter about fan interactions with various creators, you'll hear the occasional complaint about writer X or artist Y who came off a bit rude, or aloof, or charged too much. But whenever I would hear about someone's interaction with George, it was always in the most glowing terms.
Thank you George for your positivity, your gorgeous artwork, and for fond childhood memories.
