George Perez Appreciation Thread

[batnkevlar]

I like his art, so I decided let's make a thread for the man himself: George Perez...

 

[batnkevlar]

Oh, plus, I'm doing a Spanish project on him, so any biography info on him? Is he latino? Hopefully he is, otherwise I'll have to lie and say he is...

there's an awesome humongeous George Perez artbook coming out soon called George Perez: Storyteller that you may all be interested in. I'll be getting one

 

[Supergirl]

As promised:

Not realistic my ass

It's so strange to be looking at those group shots...which aren't even from that long ago, really...just to realize that Powergirl isn't Atlantean anymore and Guy Gardner isn't Vuldarian anymore.

...and Guy Gardner isn't Vuldarian anymore.

Well actually he still is. His Vudarian cell-things (I have no idea what they are. The stuff that made him Warrior, with the organic guns and crap) have gone into remission and he can't use his powers... not that he seems to mind. I don't know why but lately I've beome a huge Guy fan. I love the bastard.
Anyway, nitpick over. On topic... I sometimes love Perez's art. Sometimes. I mean, when I like it, I LOVE it. This pic:

... is probably one of the most gorgeous things I've ever seen. It's amazing.
But stuff like this:

... really, really underwhelms me. His Infinite Crisis covers have been great looking so far, though.

my teacher from art school used to live with george perez when the two of them were both early intheir careers at DC and marvel. i've also met goeorge once....great guy! phenominal artist, of course.

 

[BrianWilly]

Anyone know who the the blue lady with the weirdishly long fingers between Powergirl and Supergirl is?

 

[yenaled]

I love Perez, he draws Kyle a lot.

Ahem, Alex Ross.

But seriously, he is amazingly good. Probably the best.

 

[Sentry2005]

[KAD]

One of the best
