Personal History
George Pérez was recognized as one of the greatest and most influential comics artists of all time. His most acclaimed work for DC Comics includes New Teen Titans (Volume 1) and the continuity-defining maxiseries Crisis on Infinite Earths (Volume 1) (both with writer Marv Wolfman) and the Post-Crisis reboot series Wonder Woman (Volume 2).
