GEORGE PÉREZ - STORYTELLER: THE FIRST 30 YEARS (Nov 2006)

Although we started with a nice-sized bonus section in this week's regular column, I promised more coverage on a variety of other titles that I and others have seen lately. This time, I've got books from three companies to look over. We'll be sorting these by company after I deliver the first review, which covers one of the best historical tomes released this year.

Any regular reader of Best Shots knows that I'm a huge fan of George Perez's work. I really started following him on Avengers, then Justice League of America and New Teen Titans. My favorite single issue of a series is still #200 of the original run of JLA, a book for which Mr. Perez contributed stand-out framing sequences and the final battle between the League and the alien invaders. Obviously, I'm not the only fan of the man in the world, or else we wouldn't have this wonderfully crafted look at his life and work.
