I was there when I started collecting Avengers #160! It wasn't long until this awesome artist name George Perez' blew me away with page after page. Red Rodin never looked better! :D Just wanted to say thank you for making comics still exciting today as you did when I was a 10 yrs. old!!! ;)

My partner is talking to John Smith this weekend about our show in Collinsville, IL. in September 25-26 this year. (near St. Louis, MO) We already have Jim Steranko, Nick Carty, Peter David and Billy Tucci! I am to hear back sometime next week from Bernie Wrightson & CrossGen is in the works! We had Kurt last year and we told the fans we would do our best to get you for this years show. You were #1 fan pick that fans wanted to see most. That is an all expense paid trip with you wife too, I might add! :)

Between me chatting with you here and Jim going to Mega-con, we hope to get in touch with you one way or another.

Hope to hear from you soon!

George is one of the artists who really impressed me when I was just learning to draw. He and John Byrne were the guys who laid a solid foundation for me as a comic artist and I owe them a debt of gratitude. My favorite Perez issues are Avengers 160 - 162. A great story with revelations about Wonderman's past and then an awesome battle with Ultron where he tries to transfer the Wasp's brain into Jocosta's body!
