Dear George, Kurt, Vu, Kirk, Tony and Tom,
JLA/A RUMBLE
(2004), art by
Ralph Ramil Mendoza
|
Long ago, I have envisioned of creating a kick-ass pin-up like this. Since I'm also a fan of the World Wrestling Entertainment as much as comic books, I toyed with the idea of pitting all physically-powered superheroes together in one ring. I eventually made one such pin-up using superstrong and monstrous looking characters from Image comics. Then added a few WWF superstars to play referees, managers and medics.
Naturally, a Marvel versus DC match-up comes to mind. At that time, I thought of basing it on that special limited series cross-over event back then. But after reading all 4 issues, I, unfortunately, couldn't find any inspiration from it at all. There were flaws (eg. Jurgens art, Spider-clone...), they just couldn't be ignored. So regretably, the idea was banked...
...till now!
Thanks to this whole spectacular Avengers/JLA cross-over. George's unbelievable vision come-true had all the necessary elements needed to drag me out of my cave and force me into making this huge pin-up! Mainly I used issue 3 cover as character reference and inspiration. Incidentally, it would be a shame to leave out the rest of the cast like Batman and Captain America, so I decided to make them the audience. If you will notice, I added both George and Kurt as referees.
I bet nobody has ever thought of doing something like this at all, eh? There may have been a Superman vs. Mohammad Ali. But none as BIG as mine. Hehe. Hope you guys like this! This is my way of thanking you for the wonderful entertainment through the years. It's always a blast!
In addition, I would want to dedicate this to my dear sister Peachy Rachel Mendoza and friends Jose "Bants" Abantao, Emmanuel "Manny" Caragan, Alain Sadang, Alan Pascual, Randy Sta. Ana, Patrick Berkenkotter, Mel Evangelista and the rest of the gang.
Here's the complete list of characters appearing in my JLA/Avengers 4: Royal Rumble!

Dear Mr Perez,
I have enjoyed your art for more than 10 years. You always like drawing a lot of characters into the same action scene and that's something that I kept in mind through the years.
Now I have a web page to show some of the universe of characters I have created. The stuff you'll find is made of pin ups and scketches, and you'll see how you have been a big influence in my art through the years.
I would LOVE to get your personal comment about my art posted in my page. What a great honor it would be! So please visit my page and give me your opinion about my art and characters.

Here's some of my artwork. I've been a big George Perez fan for years. I used to have the dream of breaking into comics but I've since let it go to pursue other ventures but I'd love it if I could get some opinions on my artwork. If not from the great one, it'd be good to have it from other George fans or other successfull comic artists.

From COMICS BUYERS GUIDE #1500 (16 Aug 02)
hey kids! COMICS!
Back to the future of comics, again...
written by Heidi MacDonald
(excerpt)
At a foodtown in a dusty strip mall on Route 28 in Whitehouse Station, N.J., there was a decrepit spinner rack. The comics were yellowed and creased, because no rack jobber came by.
For some reason, I purchased Amazing Spider-Man #161 written by Len Wein with art by Ross Andru, which featured The Punisher and Nighcrawler, and Fantastic Four #176 by Roy Thomas and George Pérez, which featured The Impossible Man attacking some really cool place called the Marvel Bullpen.
(Aside: That story was just reprinted in Fantastic Four vol. 3, #54… might have to go snag a copy.)
...
Unbeknownst to me, later I would work with Len Wein and go to lunch with him once a week on the Disney lot. I would interview George Pérez for a special spotlight. I'd see Chris Claremont almost every day, because he was walking to work through Madison Square Park in one direction, and I was walking in the other direction, and we'd stop and say hi once in a while.

DREAM PROJECT
AVENGERS. I'm no George Perez, but I'd love to have a crack at that one. Also, I think almost every artist would like a crack at those mighty mutants.
INFLUENCES
My two biggest ones have got to be Travis Charest and George Perez. I remember seeing George for the first time at Wizardworld, and I spilled coffee on my pants. Sigmund Torre wouldn't let up on that one. Many other artists have influenced my style such as Adam Hughes, Jim Lee, Leinel Yu, Whilce Portacio, Bengus, Alex Ross and Locke.
From Greg Horn
PITTSBURGH COMICON Apr 26- 28 My second convention of 2002 won't soon be forgotten. On the last day at about 2:00, there was a quick storm and the lights went out for the rest of the show! One guy was going through my paintings with a key chain flashlight! It was surreal. To make things worse, my shuttle bus was late and I had to run to my departing flight with my heavy bag. By the time I got to the gate I was tired, hungry, and sweaty--I must have looked like a nervous terrorist because just as I was about to board, security pulled me to the side and did a random check on me! Finally, I had to explain to them that I draw for Marvel comics (Luckily, I had Elektra copies in my bag). They were slightly impressed and sent me on my merry way. I was never so glad to get home. Not that this was a bad show, in fact it was very good and I thank Michael and Renee George for setting up my table. Anyway, my most memorable moment of the con was when George Perez (one of my childhood heroes) came to my table to tell me I'm doing a good job. You can't get much higher praise than that. Thanks, George. Also, special thanks go out to Frank Wright, who was kind enough to drive me to Kinko's for much needed supplies.

Tom Smith
|
Born on November 16, 1956, Tom Smith, like most people in the biz, fell in love with comics at a young age. More than anything else, he wanted to draw comics. Time passed. Tom fell in love and married his lovely wife, Rita, and started raising a family. But his dream never strayed far from comics. After the birth of two beautiful daughters, Tom decided he’d had enough of working in a factory. It was time to pursue his dream. He took night classes at the Joe Kubert School and drove two-and-a-half hours each way. Tom finally quit his factory job and took on work as a color separator at Murphy Anderson’s Visual Concepts. There he learned about the coloring and manufacturing side of the comic business. But Tom didn’t get his big break until he met Marvel’s promotional editor, Fabian Nicieza. Fabian liked Tom’s airbrush work enough to offer him the coloring of an Iron Man promotional poster drawn by Bob Layton. Unfortunately, Tom didn’t get another assignment for over a year. In 1990, Tom was hired once again to color a promo poster of John Byrne’s cover to Namor #1. John liked the coloring so much that he insisted it be used on the cover of the actual comic. That’s when Tom’s career began to take off. He worked for many different comic book publishers, on such titles as Nexus and Grimjack. He airbrush colored over 150 covers for Malibu Comics. And he kept right on working for Marvel on Marvel Comics Presents and over a year’s run on Nomad. Tom was still working full time as a color separator and was expecting a third daughter when he was offered the coloring job of a lifetime. Tom’s dream of working on his favorite comic book character, the Hulk, came true with Future Imperfect, a two-part prestige comic book written and drawn by two of the industry’s finest talents, Peter David and George Perez. Tom had always admired George’s work, and he honors the friendship that continues between them to this day. After Future Imperfect, Tom’s career really began to skyrocket. He finally quit his production job, never to return. Tom has since colored some of Marvel’s best-selling titles, including X-Men 2099, Venom, Marvel Team-Up, Silver Surfer, and his current favorite, The Avengers, over the artwork of his buddy George Perez. Tom continues to color comics now using the computer as a tool more frequently than his airbrush.
(Vu: Please note that there are two Pérez artwork being sold on that website, one Future Imperfect and the other is Sachs and Violens.)

Pérez on "Drawing Power" |
|
From Vu
George made a small appearance in this issue as number six on Wizard's top 10 most influence artists. Number two being Jack Kirby and one being Will Eisner.
6. George Pérez
Whoever coined the phrase "less is more" never met George Pérez.
Master of the team book, Pérez can draw one character or one hundred with intricate detail. His obession to render ever last line created a new style that riveted a reader's attention and inspired the generation of artists that gre up in the 1970s.
"All the detail you see in my work? I'm just trying to emulate George," says Wildstorm Productions founder Jim Lee. "George really started the hyper-detail that you see in comics today. He introduced the idea that there were individual bricks in every building. And he drew them all. And he'd draw every building in the background and they'd all have different styles of architecture. He'd just blow away the reader."
More than just a render-head, Pérez brought a passion to his art unseen before. "George has poured more detail and work into his pages than anyone," says CrossGen Comics Art Director Bart Sears. "He makes you want to work harder."
Pérez is the best at drawing large groups, having solidified his reputation on titles such as Avengers and New Teen Titans. And he even created new ways of showcase entire teams. "His panels were very film-oriented," says Lee. "There might be an explosion, then you'd cut to seven different panels of reactions from seven different people. He spared no expense to show you ever angle, every emotion."
He's still doing it. On his current JLA/Avengers project, Pérez is very aware of what his all-time records are for most characters in a panel or on a page. He's consciously setting out to break those records.
"That's just what George does," Sears laughs. "He can't be stopped. He's always setting the bar higher for all of us."

Todd McFarlane Biography |
|
From Spawn.com (official site)
TODD MCFARLANE BIOGRAPHY
Todd McFarlane, the creator of Spawn, is a multi-faceted artist and businessman with a broad range of experience in entertainment, sports and publishing.
McFarlane was born in Calgary, Alberta, Canada on March 16, 1961, but spent most of his childhood in Southern California. Returning to Calgary at age 14, Todd first discovered the world of comic books in high school. He bought all the comics he could afford, especially the works of his favorite artists: John Byrne, George Perez, Marshall Rogers, Michael Golden, Art Adams and Walter Simonson. Although he spent a lot of time drawing comic book heroes, playing professional baseball was his ultimate dream.

From JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #197
Dear Len and Ted,
I just finished reading issue #192 of Justice League of America. Stunning. This month's tale was the best of all my DCs I picked up. Centering around one member of the group (Red Tornado) and at the same time involving the other heroes was an excellent idea. Even though there were 25 pages, I thought that my reading ended too soon.
Red Tornado has fast become one of my favorite heroes. It is about time that he starts acting like the hero I know he can be.
As for the art, what can I say? Welcome back, George. Your pencils have been missed (although Buckler did a very admirable job in your absence.) besides being my favorite artist, you draw the best Red Tornado this side of the border (and the other side, too!)
Todd McFarlane

From
Todd McFarlane ("Spawning Ground" via SPAWN 101)
I would like to give a big thank you to George Perez for coming onboard and doing a special cover for issue #101. What makes his participation of special note is if you go back to the beginning, George did a pin-up at the end of my story in the first issue of Spawn back in 1992. So I thought it was apropos that he join us on issue #1 and is now back to lend his artistic talents to issue #101. I'll make sure I lasso him into giving us yet another piece when we get to issue #201 in another eight years. Again, a hearty thanks to George for being around and hanging tough between assignments. I wish him the best of luck.

Influences |
|
From Vu
I know there are a lot of professional (and a lot more unprofessional!) artists who are influenced by George Pérez.
This interview excerpt below is from The Comic Reader
Ever heard of Ronn Stern?
I haven't, but according to his interview with Paintball Channel, he cited George as his mentor (and friend).
This next interview is from Pop Matters. The reason(s) why George dropped INFINITY GAUNTLET was because, at the time, he was working on two crossover series - Marvel's INFINITY GAUNTLET and DC's WAR OF THE GODS. For more details on why George dropped INFINITY GUANTLET, read the interview from WIZARD #35 (July 1994).
I don't need to re-introduce you guys to Phil. I've already mentioned countless time that Phil have mentioned George in his interviews. When I first started the Influence Section, I had Phil in mind. Anyway, this interview was conducted and written by Scott Simmons in early December 1997, from Heroes and Dragons.
Simmons: Your tight pencils and emphasis on detail have invited some comparison to George Perez. Has his work been an influence on your own?
Phil Jimenez:
George Perez is and will always remain my biggest comic-book influence, no doubt about it. I owe my career to his influence. It seems we also share very similar sensibilities; I was drawn to George's work the moment I saw it.
(Heck, CRISIS ON INFINITE EARTHS and WONDER WOMAN remain bound, in volumes, above my desk, and I flip through them constantly to remind me of how much more I have to learn about the craft of drawing comics.)
There's a Picasso quote—the exact words escape me now—about how an artist who emulates another artist develops his own style through the horrible copies he makes of the artist he so admires; something like that. I hope people know that in my case, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and that slowly but surely I'm combining my horrible imitations of George's work with other outside influences and continuing to grow. I hope my fans will stick around to see where I end up.
[ Read more Heroes and Dragons ]
I think the next interview was conducted by Peder Giæver, but it looks as if they were patchworked from several other interviews. Well read it at Peder Giæver. I have to admit that I think Robertson's current work on FURY on Marvel's MAX line is really good.

George Perez
Penciler/cover artist, Avengers, 1975-80, 1997-current
"Perez created my voracious appetite for drawing more and more heroes.
I was a Perez clone in my early teens and love his stuff to this day."
Phil Jimenez
Obvious. Although in interviews, Phil admitted his art is very similiar to Perez.
More on Jimenez later....
Example of Jimenez detailed works: THE TITANS 24
Rob Liefeld
Although not one of my favourite artist, I have to give him the thumbs up on buying and displaying the original pencils of JLA versus Avengers by George Perez.
Liefeld and Perez have done one cover together, at least that's as far as I can remember. Perez later went to work for Image comics (Extreme Studios, which is Rob Liefeld's subdivsion of Image) on such titles as Brigade and Youngblood: Strikefile (I remember reading about this, but not sure on which issue exactly).
X-Force #1

New Teen Titans #39

Note the similiar layout and setup.
In X-Force, we're on Antarctica, viewing from faraway on a snowly background (with mountains). Members of X-Force gathers around and Cable gives them the word to take out the Mutant Liberation Front. Enter two page splash, see above.
In the New Teen Titans, we're on Alaska, with snowy background and mountains. Some guards are outside guarding something, and are taken out by Cyborg and Kid Flash. Then we see Robin, who gives the word to take out Brother Blood's operation.
From Kirk
WIZARD #116
transcribed by Vu
Liefeld Owns Lost Pages
Rob Liefeld grew up a George Perez fan.
When Perez made stops throughout southern California in the late '80s and early '90s, Liefeld made sure he was there. When Liefeld hit it big in comics himself on projects such as Cable and New Mutants as well as co-founding Image Comics, he never forgot how much he admired Perez.
And when the original JLA/Avengers was scrapped back in 1983 due to company squabbles, Liefeld called Perez to ask what he was going to do with the 21 pages he'd penciled for the project.
"I think at teh time George didn't know what he was going to do with them," Liefeld said. "I kept calling him about them and when he was ready to sell them he finally called me -- I jumped at the chance to get my hands on them."
In past years Liefeld has shared the "dream project" with fans by displaying pages of the unpublished work at comic conventions. Liefeld said it was his excitment about the project that made him want to make the pages accessible to fans.
"These pages were meant to be seen by everyone," Liefeld explained. "I wouldn't want to keep them locked up - I want everyone to enjoy them. It's just great work. George is doing great work now, but this wa the peak of the style he was working in them."
With JLA/Avengers now set for 2002, Liefeld even has some plans for the old pages.
"I've always thought it would be cool to have Jim Lee inked one page of it, George to ink a page, Frank Miller ink a page and have Alex Ross paint over one of the pages," Liefeld said. "So, who knows, maybe we'll get that done and put them on display again." MK
