GEORGE PEREZ George first started in comics in 1973 as an assistant to Rich Buckler, working on a back-up story in Astonishing Tales #25. His first solo assignments came a year later when he penciled the story Sons of the Tiger from the black and white magazine Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu, and Man-Wolf from Creatures on the Loose. Within a year of these stories, he was offered regular assignments on Fantastic Four, The Inhumans, and The Avengers. George has worked steadily since that time. It was his work on these large-scale team books that garnered him the reputation as the artist that liked to draw group books. During his historic career, George has worked for every major publisher, as well as some minor ones. He is best known for his work on The New Teen Titans, a series that helped turn DC Comics around in the early 80s and was also the first mainstream title to offer a royalties program to its creators. He is also well known for his runs on Wonder Woman, Marvel Comics' Avengers series, and for the maxi-series to end all maxi series, Crisis on Infinite Earths. You can now see George's work on the CrossGen Comics title Solus and the upcoming JLA/Avengers. Related links: www.megaconvention.com

George has been married for 20 years to his lovely wife, Carol Flynn. George is a self-taught artist whose career now comes full circle. As a young rookie penciler, George learned from the masters working in the Marvel bullpen. As he'd bring in his pages, they'd all look them over and give him tips on how he could improve. Now, as he makes his regularly scheduled visits to CrossGen, he will be the one giving CrossGen's younger talent tips on how to improve. He'll also get a chance to continue to learn from the other veterans working here. As George has said himself, "You're never too old to learn." Look for George's work on the title CrossGen Chronicles.

George entered the comic industry in the 1970’s. He created a splash with his early work on Marvel’s Man-Wolf and Deathlok the Demolisher He showed a flair for handling team books with his outstanding pencils on Fantastic Four, The Inhumans and The Avengers. George crossed over to DC in the early eighties where he took on the penciling chores on the Justice League of America. Soon after he and Mary Wolfman collaborated on what has become George’s signature series, The New Teen Titans. His work on the Titans is being released in an archive collection from DC. His next collaboration with Wolfman was to rebuild the whole DC Universe with Crisis on Infinite Earths. With this limited series, George drew every character in the DC Universe, a feat which he repeated in the History of the DC Universe. George established his writing credentials with a critically acclaimed relaunch of Wonder Woman. George’s other works include: The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect and Sachs and Violens (with Peter David), inking Gil Kane’s adaptation of Jurassic Park and inking for Dan Jurgens on his version of the Teen Titans. His penciling run on the wildly popular Avengers recently ended so that George could focus his attention on his creator owned comic, Crimson Plague from Gorilla Press and his work on The First from CrossGen.

George Perez have consistantly maintained top 10 artist for over two and a half years on Wizard's hot top 10 artist. Even now, that Perez doesn't have a regular Marvel or DC book behind him, he's still Number Four.

George Perez Bio

George Perez, born in the South Bronx, New York on June 9, 1954, started his comics career 23 years ago as an assistant to Deathlok creator Rich Buckler. In fact, George's first work was a two-page humor piece which appeared in Marvel's Astonishing Tales #25 which Introduced Deathlok the Demolisher. After only one other non-series assignment, a Gullwar of Mars story for Monsters Unleashed #8, George was given fill-in jobs on two low-selling series Man-Wolf in Creatures on the Loose #33 and The Sons of the 7Yper in Deadly Nands of Kung Fu #6. The writers of these two series, David Kraft and Bill Mantlo, respectively, were impressed enough with the newcomer's work to have him become the regular penciller on both series.

When Perez was then given the pencilling assignments for Fantastic Four (initially subbing for his one-time employer Buckler), The Avengers and The Inhumans, the young artist's reputation for successfully handling group books was developed. It would be his forte for most of his career and would cross over upon his departure from Marvel to DC Comics. There he drew Justice League of America and co-created (with Marv Wolfman) what would be become arguably his most successful and best remembered series, The New Teen Titans. With The Auengers and Fantastic Four, Perez had developed a strong fan-following. With Titans, his star blazed brighter than ever.

Perez would remain with The Titans for over 4 years and followed that stint (with Wolfman) with the hugely successful limited series Crisis on Iqfaite Earths which allowed George to draw every character in the DC Universe at that time. He repeated the feat (again with Marv Wolfman) with the encyclopedic History of the DC Universe.

After so many high-profile successes, George could pretty much pick and choose whatever project he wanted. To the surprise of many, George chose Wonder Woman which was being totally revamped for a re-launch. After co-plotting so successfully on past projects, Perez was granted the total freedom to plot and later script the new Wonder Woman series. A critical success which garnered Perez several awards, Wonder Woman established Perez's writing credentials and a new career was begun. George would remain with the Amazing Amazon for over 5 years, including the spinoff limited series War of the Gods.

Another limited series, Marvel's The Iqfinity Gauntlet was followed by two special projects: the hlghly-praised The Incredible Hulk: Future Imperfect and Sachs 8L Violens (both with writer Peter David). After inking comics legend Gil Kane on the comics adaptation of Jurassic Park for Topps, Georgc began his association with Malibu Comics with the crossover miniseries Break-Thru and the team book UltraForce.

With Tekno-Comix's I-Bots, George Perez continued his penchant for team books and returned to DC Comics as the inker of Dan Jurgens' newest version of The Teen Titans . His work on that series earned him a nomination for an Eisner Award as Best Inker. George digs deeper into his roots now as the penciller for December '97's relaunch of Marvel's original The Auengers with writer Kurt Busiek, inker A1 Vey and color artist Tom Smith.

However, not content merely providing new spins on past works, the ever-busy artist is currently writing and illustrating his own creator-owned mini-series for Event Comics, Crintson Plague. This series about a genetically engineered woman whose blood is lethal to the touch and which, during her unpredictable menstrual cycles, unleashes an airborne virus capable of destroying all living matter is unique in the Perez canon in that the entire cast is populated by real names and faces. There really is a Dina Simmons and Shannon Lower and Andre Pradel, and Shelton Drum and Lisa Bentley, etc.

In fact even you can become a character in CrirrLson Plague simply by signing a model release form and sending photos of yourself to the address listed on the form. Only one thing-- you may die a bloody horrible death-but it'll look real cool.

This series is currently on hiatus until more issues are in the drawer to serve a monthly schedule, but you can check out other sections on this website for original black and white art (as well as some color proofs by CP and Avengers colorist Tom Smith) from the second issue, a preview of the plot of issue #3, some photos of the real DiNA:, Shannon and other models from the selies, and other arts. Coming soon will be a regular on-line newsletter The Plague Carrier and a chance to pick up some Plague merchandise.
