Many years ago, my very first published work was in Focus on George Perez
from Fantagraphics in 1985.
In 1987, I was sitting in a movie theatre, watching the vampire film The Lost
Boys, which features two kids known as "The Frog Brothers" who work in their
parents' comic book shop on the pier haunted by the vamps. Lots of comics
were featured (including some New Teen Titans issues in a few shots) but one
very familiar cover showed up in not one, not two, but THREE different spots
in the film! Since Focus on George Perez had a recognizable cover, and the
first time was the best view, I shouted out "There's my book!" in the
theatre, then glowed about it the rest of the film.
Now, admittedly, it's not like any of the characters picked it up, nor that
it was "focused on" (so to speak), but it was THERE.
Yesterday, I got a DVD screen capture tool, so I quickly snapped several
decent shots of scenes from the film. For those who don't HAVE the book,
it's the yellow cover with the big red lettering which says "George Perez."
Those of you on the GeorgePerez2 list won't get the attachment, but Vu has my
permission to post these pics and this letter to the website if he'd like, so
you can see them there.
How's THAT for Perez obscura?
