George Pérez, I’ve always felt, is the John Romita Jr. of DC, even though he did plenty of work at Marvel. What I mean by that is this: his style, for a time, fit the DC aesthetic to an absolute tee. For the five or six years directly surrounding “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” Pérez was the definition of the DC style, and he handled some of their best known properties during particularly great runs, most especially his work on “New Teen Titans.” Below, we showcase just some of his work, in particular the work he has done with teams and large events – to this day, no one can draw a giant splash page like Pérez.

    Artist August: Tom Scioli [Art Feature]

    Full disclosure: I had another artist slated for this spot up until quite recently. I went with a pick that I felt was an important artist in the history of comics, and was excited to spotlight their work. However, when I started collecting pieces, I felt nothing. The work, while incredible, didn’t resonate with me […]

    Artist August: Liz Prince [Art Feature]

    Liz Prince’s comics are exactly the type of comics I want to see more of in the world. Her work lies somewhere between the self-reflection of Jeffery Brown and the raucous energy of James Kochalka, examining herself and her surroundings through the lens of a humorist. Her comics are easily digestible while simultaneously impactful and thought provoking, […]
