Best team artist ever. No one compares to his Avengers and Justice League.

Oh man, this is heartbreaking to read. I love Perez's art.

Terrible. It genuinely cannot be overstated the kind of impact he had on comics art. He was essentially the master of huge group scenes, and Crisis on Infinite Earths, the Marv Wolfman "New Teen Titans" run, etc, couldn't have happened without him and his art.

That puts a bit of a damper on what’s been a good day. Perez was one of my best influences to start drawing more. All my best sentiments to him and his family now.

On my phone background is me standing next to George Perez at a convention when I decided to “cosplay” as a London 2012 Games Maker in the same venue I worked at. I met him before trying to get an interview when I was doing that sort of thing but this time, it was to actually meet the dude.
I gave him a copy of JLA/Avengers to sign and said it was the first comic I read. “That’s a heck of a first start” he said.
I still have the book he signed on my shelf and that background has gone through several iPhones because it was such a great experience.
Better people can talk up his great comics legacy but it never felt like you couldn’t approach the guy to say how much his legacy meant to you (well, except interview requests because man, he had a whole schedule on days).
Oh, and also…
F*** Cancer!

Perez and Wolfman were a legendary team as far as comic writers and artists go. This is heartbreaking to hear.

Hopefully, that last public appearance he spoke of with fans occurs.

More than a legend. He was such an influential and iconic comic artist in two decades. His version of the Titans and the Super familiar is definitive to me.

Best team artist ever. No one compares to his Avengers and Justice League. I don't think Teen Titans gets popular enough to get a TV Show without Perez/Wolfman's run either. Dude's a legend of the comics industry, and when he goes he will be absolutely missed. edit:

Comic Tropes did a pretty good look at his career.

Favorite penciler ever. Wrote him a letter some weeks back when they were taking fan mail. Gushed and told him thanks and etc.
At one point I told him that if it was his book, you knew nothing would ever be half assed. If it was Perez, you were getting whole ass all the way.
I hope that made him laugh.
