George Perez

I commissioned this at the 2000 Heroes Con.
George is probably the nicest guy you could hope to meet
in addition to being a living legend as an artist. I first
met him when I went to the 1997 San Diego Con. It was the
first time I'd been and I saw he was signing at the Event
Comics booth. Since it was a small publisher, no one was
really around, so I got to talk to him quite a while, let him
talk me into buying a copy of his then-new comic Crimson
Plague and take a picture of me with the model the lead
character is based on. Basically he helped get the day at
the con off to a great start for me.
