GEORGE PEREZ: THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS (2007)

(excerpt)

And then, scheduled for release in plenty of time for the holiday gift season, George Perez: Best of All Worlds [again, tentative title] will collect the extended and fairly extensive interview I did with George which was published over the course of several issues of the late, greatly-missed Comic Book Marketplace magazine from Gemstone. George has already given his blessings to this project, and we're talking about some different ideas which would make this a kinda special/cool package. As I explained to George, I figure this will serve as volume one for now, as it covers almost the entirety of his life and career up to the height of CrossGen Comics, when the interview was originally conducted. Plus, this is a monster interview, really and truly huge and lengthy as it exists. So the easiest and most logical way to do this is publish this interview as it stands; then, at some point in the future after a suitable passage of time, George and I will sit down for another extended chat, essentially just picking up the conversation where we left off at the end of the first book. I'll be talking up this book, and the fun things we've got planned for it, in the near future.
