PÉREZ ART AUCTION
Wizard Auctions George Perez Artwork from Wizard #105
Nearly 20 years ago, George Pérez started work on what could have been one of the legendary comic battles of all-time: The Justice League of America versus The Mighty Avengers. But due to company politics between DC and Marvel, the project was killed, and never saw the light of day.
Art by George Pérez, originally published in WIZARD #105 Until now.
Pérez went back to the drawing board one last time for Wizard #105, The Greatest Issue ever, and created one of the most memorable Last Man Standings ever with the two teams pairing off in classic Pérez fashion.
To further defuse one of the comicdom’s most egregious oversights, Wizard has joined forces with Pérez and is auctioning off this one-of-a-kind piece of original art on E-Bay as you read this.
The 19-by-19 inch masterpiece, both inked and penciled by Pérez, features 25 members of each team about to square of, and is the last time he will ever draw these two teams together.
Also offered on E-bay as part of the package are two concept drawings by Pérez, one of the original proposal to Wizard, the second the final layout as approved by the Wizard design staff, which was used as a template for the final piece you see in its colored form here.
The bidding on this item closes on Monday, May 22 a little after 5:41 p.m. EST. To check out the auction, click here:
