Hamilton\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBorn in the South Bronx to Puerto Rican parents, artist and writer George Pérez (1954-2022) cut his teeth in the 1970s as an artist at Marvel who worked on lesser titles like \u003ci\u003eThe Deadly Hands of Kung Fu \u003c\/i\u003eand \u003ci\u003eCreatures on the Loose\u003c\/i\u003e, and then mainstays like \u003ci\u003eFantastic Four\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Avengers\u003c\/i\u003e. In the 1980s, Pérez jumped ship to DC where he helped turn \u003ci\u003eThe New Teen Titans\u003c\/i\u003e into a top-selling title and cocreated \u003ci\u003eCrisis on Infinite Earths\u003c\/i\u003e, which marked the publisher's fiftieth anniversary and consolidated its sprawling universe. As writer and artist, Pérez relaunched DC's \u003ci\u003eWonder Woman\u003c\/i\u003e, a run that later inspired much of the 2017 film. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThough Pérez's style is highly recognizable, his contributions to comic art and history have not been fully acknowledged. In \u003ci\u003eGeorge Pérez\u003c\/i\u003e, author Patrick L. Hamilton addresses this neglect, first, by discussing Pérez's artistic style within the context of Bronze Age superhero art, and second, by analyzing Pérez's work for its representations of race, disability, and gender. Though he struggled with deadlines and health issues in the 1990s, Pérez would reintroduce himself and his work to a new generation of comics fans with a return to Marvel's \u003ci\u003eThe Avengers\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as attempts at various creator-owned comics, the last of these being \u003ci\u003eSirens\u003c\/i\u003e from Boom! Studios in 2014. Throughout his career, Pérez established a dynamic and minutely detailed style of comic art that was both unique and influential.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003ePatrick L.
