He also draws this incredible texture-y rocky stuff like no one else.

Agreed. Byrne proclaimed himself 'the King of rubble' many years ago (before my time, I believe) and as soon as I heard it for the first time, I instantly thought 'lol no, that's George Perez'. That and an inkling that Byrne might have an ego, which was a vast understatement.

He was at C2E2 2019. As a super last minute thought, easily 200 people (myself included) were hoping for a Sunday afternoon signing before C2E2 shut down.  As we waited in line for him to get back from break, the C2E2 staff kept saying, "We can't guarantee he'll get to everyone; there's a long line and we have to close at 5:00 PM."

He plowed through the last 100 people in like 15 minutes and made sure EVERY single fan got a signature.  I was lucky enough to get these three sweet babies from that day. :)

Had this poster on my wall for years.

I always loved just the composition of it and the way it incorporated every character from the first three years of the NTT.

Sadly, it was one of the things that got lost when my mother sold her house.

Wow - great to see this one again.  I also had it on my wall for years - through most of high school at least.  I think I still have it in a tube in a closet somewhere, but I haven't seen it in quite a while.  What a great poster....

Posted it elsewhere, but this is one of my favorite Perez covers:

And the Judas Contract (Teen Titans) is one of my favorite storylines, and Perez's Robin is my "ideal" Robin. I like that storyline so much that I bought this toy run more than 10 years ago:

Wow GP really put out some beautiful work over the years. He was a little before my collecting time, so I missed a lot of his prime stuff growing up. Definitely looking forward to picking up some more of the books he worked on this year. Just picked up a first appearance of Deathstroke. Didnt know he was the creator. Was always a fan of the character design, and thought it would be the perfect book for me to send to the CGC signing.
