George Pérez, Iconic Comic Book Artist Passes Away

George Pérez was an artist, a writer, a role model, and a friend. His work paved seminal stories across comics, and his legacy of kindness and generosity will never be forgotten. Our family at Marvel mourns his loss today, and our hearts are with his family and loved ones. pic.twitter.com/Z61gXE1zk4

George Perez never went half way, in art or life. He pushed the limit of what a comic could do: his style was somehow, impossibly both overwhelmingly powerful and subtly graceful. He matched his passion for his trade with his passion for his fans and friends. RIP breaks my heart. pic.twitter.com/TPp78JC38d

Remember George Perez the way he'd want to be remembered: as someone with endless love for the characters he created and drew, and who never hesitated to share that love with the fans

His work on Teen Titans and others has inspired so many. Comics fandom won't be the same now. pic.twitter.com/JkZmrgihOL
