January 26, 2012: George Perez to Appear at 34th Annual Superman Celebration

Legendary comic book artist George Perez will be among the featured guests at this year's 34th Annual Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL.

Mr. Perez took to his Facebook Fan Page earlier to today to confirm the news:

"Well, now it can be told. I will be making my first appearance at the Superman Celebration in Metropolis, IL on June 7th-11th. That means I get to spend my birthday with a lot of cosplay family! I'm so looking forward to that!"

Perez entered the comic industry in the 1970's and created a splash with his early work on Marvel's Man-Wolf and Deathlok the Demolisher. He crossed over to DC Comics in the early 1980's where he took on the penciling chores on the Justice League of America. Soon after he and Mary Wolfman collaborated on what has become George's signature series, The New Teen Titans. His next collaboration with Wolfman was to rebuild the whole DC Universe with Crisis on Infinite Earths. With this limited series, George drew every character in the DC Universe, a feat which he repeated in the History of the DC Universe.

The 34th Annual Superman Celebration is scheduled to take place June 7th - 11th.
