In memory of George Perez

After a lengthy illness, legendary comic book artist and writer George Perez passed away on May 6, 2022. He is best remembered for helping to reshape the DC Universe in the "Crisis on Infinite Earths" mini-series in the mid-1980s--a work so full of impactful imagery that it resonates across the comic book genre to this very day; for reinventing Wonder Woman during the late 1980s and into the 1990s; and for his ability to cram dozens and dozens of heroes and fierce action to pages... and yet it was always crystal clear what was going on.

Perez's career spanned four decades, and, although his style matured and changed over the years, his art remained consistently beautiful and the figures in it always epic in appearance and stature. Today, we present a gallery of his work, in his honor and memory.

You can enjoy some of Perez's portraits of more famous female superheroes by clicking here, and some grand imagery of the Batman Family by clicking here. His portraits of Wonder Woman have also been featured on many Wonder Woman Wednesdays.

Wondrous Women Wednesday!

The great George Perez announced his retirement from being an artist earlier this year, after four decades of entertaining us with his fantastic work. I'll be posting occasional galleries of his work throughout this year celebrating his career.

 

It's Sunday with Spider-Woman!

It's time for another visit with the original (and best) Spider-Woman, Jessica Drew! (Although it looks like she's still finishing her breakfast...)

And then, Black Widow decided to ruin the peaceful day by proving that while she may know Spider-Woman, she doesn't fear her!
