THE WEDDING OF DONNA TROY (p. 7)
JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #0 (Jul 2006)
Art by George PerezMELTZER: For me, this is the true royal wedding in the DCU. No supervillains attacking, no Skrulls, just a wedding.
PEREZ: When I got the assignment, I had assumed I'd be drawing the JLA. I was quite surprised to find that I was recreating the wedding of Donna Troy and Terry Long. I found out later that Brad had created the scene especially so I could draw it-and so he could purchase the original art. [Laughs] I think I did it better this time. Since my wife Carol designed the dresses for the bridal party, it was nice to draw them again.
MELTZER: Working with George brought tears to my eyes. His Justice League of America, Avengers and New Teen Titans are the reason I'm a comic reader.
PEREZ: Inking myself allowed me to get a little more detail into everything. I drew Bruce Wayne a little differently from two decades ago, since at the time I hadn't yet nailed down a definitive face for the character and the inkers, Dick Giordano and Mike DeCarlo, working from my layouts had more liberty.
