In my last entry I have said the Teen Titans picture i did was an homage to a little panel that Pérez penciled some years ago, well, the panel in question was taken from Legion of Three Worlds #1, when Superboy Prime was at the Superman Museum in Smalville.
It does a while since my last publication, so let´s go with something special this time.
The Teen Titans from Geoff Johns and Mike Mckone´s run, a mix between the New Teen Titans and the Young Justice. This time Starfire, Cyborg, Raven and Beast Boy are the old ones in the team, and Superboy, Kid Flash, Wonder Girl and Robin the new ones.
This picture is a recreation from a little panel Pérez draw some years ago, anyone knows fromwhichcomicthis picture comes from?
And this is the final picture: The New Teen Titans Vs. The X-Men, a new reinterpretation of CROSSOVER CLASSICS´s cover, drawn originally by George Pérez, redrawn and colored by me.
This picture was created to be included in PACESETTER: THE GEORGE PEREZ MAGAZINE # 11, the Teen Titan issue. In it we can see Starfire, Kole, Cyborg, Jericho, Raven, Wonder Girl, Changeling and Nightwing. Mostly of them actually don´t exist on the New DC Universe, but some day they will return.
My name is Alejandro García, but everybody knows me as Alex. I´m originally from Montevideo, Uruguay, but have lived in Spain since 2003. I believe my passion for the Titans and George Pérez arrived the same day, when I read a Titan story for the first time, I think it was with "Assault on Titans Tower" story. I always liked super hero teams, and when I saw this new team, with teenagers (I was only familiar with Robin) it got my attention inmediately. What I liked most was the incredible art, so detailed....the page composition, the fighting sequences and the final moment....they were all great! After that, I wanted to have all the previous issues and the new ones. I remember running to the comic store every month to buy a new issue. It was so exiting read the New Teen Titans. And the stories were becoming more exiting month after month. It was the same with the art: Pérez improved with each issue to the point where we could perfectly distinguish the Titans without their masks. That was so incredible...no too many pencilleres are capable to do something like that these days. With the Titans I discovered a great artist, all of whose work I follow, regardless of publishers, and I´m always looking to find out what his next work will be.
I´ve always enjoyed drawing and Perez´s art was an inspiration to me. I spent a lot of time scrutinizing his drawings and trying to imitate his style, buy obviously that is impossible. Pérez is always evolving and improving... it is impossible to match!
Ok, this is part of my interview to PACESETTER, THE GEORGE PEREZ MAGAZINE #11, produced and edited by my friend Marcus Mébes.
With this blog I like to share my passion for comics, super-heros and George Pérez, whom I thank forallthe inspiration.
