Attention all aspiring comic artists! I bid you to BOW and GROVEL before the comic art god known as George Perez!

The Black and White of Infinite Crisis #1 by PerezAnd poor poor Jim Lee, he's good...but his full color cover PALES into nothingness when placed side by side against the Black and White of Perez. If I was the colorist for that cover ( Read more... )

Good God, I think I want a poster of just the black and white. Just... wow. o__o

Agreed! Did you click on the link to the HUGE version? I was drooling at work and I want them to print it JUST in black and white...forget color!

It honestly makes me question if I really have what it takes to be in this kinda business at all sometimes. >_<

George Perez really raises the bar on what can be done with comic art. Incredible artist. Jim Lee's always been my favorite simply because of his character designs. But, George Perez is most definitely a God among mortals with a comic page.

I'm not even a DC comics fan, and I'm STILL gonna read it. ;)

I agree, Lee is a fantastic artist but George...damn, his greatest strength is his layout and composition of his pieces. Lee's cover catches your eye, George's cover not only catches your eye but draws you in to want to read the story.

And since Newsarama had a large format 200dpi version I'm insane enough to TRY and color it @_@
