PACESETTER: THE GEORGE PEREZ MAGAZINE #4 (Jul 2004)

I finally got around to reading the rest of this issue.

If you buy this issue directly from Tony Lorenz , it comes with a color print by Marcus Mebes and George Pérez. It is also signed by Carol Flynn and George Pérez.

The issue is full of terrific articles, my personal favorite is the Carol Flynn article/interview and the interviews with Sam Register & Glen Murakami. I think there should be more interviews like this... especially people outside of the comic book medium. Not to say that the interviews with Marv Wolfman or Phil Jimenez isn't nice!

Here is an excerpt of Bill Walko's interview with Sam Register:

As for George... I hadn't talked to George until we had a launch party for Teen Titans at ComicCon last yar in San Diego. It happened that Teen Titans was premiering the same night as the ComiCon and George and Marv were both invited to the party and they attended to watch the premiere live at a bar in San Diego. And it was packed with people. I got to meet George for the first time and it was excellent because I got to watch Marv and George watching the Teen Titans and they were just thrilled watching it together, watching their creation on TV.... We are thinking of mining the other Titans to use as auxillary members [and I asked], "Is there anyone you would like us to use?" and he mentioned Bumblebee. So she will be coming to the animated Titans as a request from George.

If you are a fan of the Teen Titans or George Pérez, this magazine should definitely be on your list. Buying it directly from Tony Lorenz is the fastest and easiest way to obtain an issue, but you can also order it from your local comic book store (who buys it from Diamond).

I don't mind recommending Diamond because the more people that order from them, the less likely that they will drop listing the magazine.
