    This is a sketch drawn by George, for me, while attending WIZARD WORLD in Chicago this past August! Drawing measures 14" x 17" and is on 3-4 ply BRISTOL BOARD! HE ONLY DID FOUR (4) FULL BODY SKETCHES over the 3 day comic con! A "sizeable" donation for ACTOR, a non profit organization, that helps with retired comic book illustrators and writers, got me the sketch initially! A GREAT GUY (George), A GREAT ORGANIZATION (ACTOR), AND A GREAT SKETCH (Batman/ Spidey)! Last picture is of George and myself after the drawing was completed!

    TOTALLY TERRIFIC TEAM-UP: JLA/AVENGERS UPDATE
    by Russell Lissau, Contributing Writer
    Posted: August 18, 2001

    The series isn't ready for publication just yet, but work on the much-anticipated team-up of the Justice League and the Avengers is progressing. Really.

    "George Perez is about halfway through the first issue, and it's unbelievable," DC editor Dan Raspler announced Saturday during a Wizard World panel about the future of the DC Universe.

    The crowd went wild at the news, as well as a slide of one of Perez's promotional pieces for the project.

    The four-issue series will be drawn by Perez and written by Kurt Busiek. Raspler is co-editing the project with Marvel's Tom Brevoort.
