All-star George Pérez tribute to be published in all DC June titles
DC will celebrate the 68th birthday of iconic comic book creator George Pérez for the entire month of June with a special two-page spread honoring one of the most beloved figures in the comic book community.
Illustrated by a multi-generational all-star roster of artists including Alex Ross, Jim Lee, José Luis García-López, Todd McFarlane, Colleen Doran, Dave Gibbons, Dan Jurgens, and many more, the image features all of the DC characters Pérez is best known for drawing over his career in an homage to his signature style. The image also features Perez himself surrounded by the New Teen Titans and Deathstroke drawn by García-López.
The spread will appear in all of DC's periodicals on sale in June, in celebration of Pérez's birthday on June 9. A separate page features a key identifying the characters and artists that participated will also be included. Both images can be seen below.
Each artist worked from a layout designed by Jurgens, and the entire image is colored by Hi-Fi.
"When I was asked to come up with a design and layout that would honor George Pérez and his many incredible contributions to DC Comics over the years, I was truly honored," says Dan Jurgens in DC's announcement.
"I have admired George's work since I first saw it and have had the good fortune to work with him in different capacities, on a number of projects. More importantly, I've been able to see the way George treats fans and readers, always smiling, gregarious and approachable.
