George Pérez, born on June 9, 1954 in New York to a Puerto Rican family from the South Bronx, is one of the most celebrated artists in comics history. A self-taught prodigy, he broke into the industry at just 20 years old at Marvel Comics, where he worked on The Avengers (starting with #141, 1975) and Fantastic Four. His talent for rendering complex group scenes with remarkable narrative clarity immediately set him apart from his contemporaries.
In 1980, Pérez joined DC Comics for a project that would become legendary: The New Teen Titans, alongside writer Marv Wolfman. Launched in DC Comics Presents #26 (October 1980) and then in its own series (November 1980), this creation was a direct response to the success of Marvel's X-Men. Pérez and Wolfman introduced characters who became essential fixtures: Deathstroke the Terminator (New Teen Titans #2), Raven, Cyborg, Starfire, and Terra. The "The Judas Contract" saga (Tales of the Teen Titans #42-44, Annual #3, 1984) is regarded as one of the finest arcs of its era. New Teen Titans #2 is a major key issue of the Bronze Age.
In 1985, DC entrusted Pérez and Wolfman with the titanic task of Crisis on Infinite Earths, the publisher's first major crossover event. This 12-issue maxiseries reshaped the entire DC Universe, and Pérez displayed an unmatched gift for compositions featuring dozens of characters. Crisis #7 (death of Supergirl) and #8 (death of Flash/Barry Allen) are iconic issues whose covers are etched into the collective memory of fans.
In 1987, Pérez undertook the reboot of Wonder Woman (vol. 2 #1), serving as both writer and artist. He grounded the character in Greek mythology with unprecedented depth and respect, redefining Diana for the modern age. The series received universal acclaim, and its early issues are highly sought after by collectors.
Pérez capped his career with JLA/Avengers (2003–2004), the ultimate DC/Marvel crossover he had dreamed of drawing since the 1980s. He passed away on May 6, 2022. His artistic legacy is immense: his double-page spreads teeming with detail, his ability to give individuality to dozens of characters within a single panel, and his legendary devotion to fans make him an irreplaceable figure in the medium.
The undisputed master of large-scale crossovers and the visual architect of Crisis on Infinite Earths. His reinvention of Wonder Woman remains the definitive benchmark for the character.
