FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Born in the South Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, artist and writer George Pérez (1954–2022) cut his teeth in the 1970s as an artist at Marvel who worked on lesser titles like The Deadly Hands of Kung Fu and Creatures on the Loose, and then mainstays like Fantastic Four and The Avengers. In the 1980s, Pérez jumped ship to DC where he helped turn The New Teen Titans into a top-selling title and cocreated Crisis on Infinite Earths, which marked the publishers fiftieth anniversary and consolidated its sprawling universe. As writer and artist, Pérez relaunched DCs Wonder Woman, a run that later inspired much of the 2017 film.Though Pérezs style is highly recognizable, his contributions to comic art and history have not been fully acknowledged. In George Pérez, author Patrick L. Hamilton addresses this neglect, first, by discussing Pérezs artistic style within the context of Bronze Age superhero art, and second, by analyzing Pérezs work for its representations of race, disability, and gender.
