Perez/Superman/Thor. Original drawing illustrating an arm wrestling match between the 2 strongest men in the universe. Graphite. Signed and dated 1998. TBE+. 42 X 30 cm George Pérez (1954-2022) was an American comic book artist and writer from Puerto Rico. Along with John Byrne, he was undoubtedly the most popular comic artist of the 1980s. He draws mostly superhero comics, mainly for DC Comics and Marvel Comics, and is known for his clean, dynamic and highly detailed style. He made his debut at the dawn of the 70s with Marvel Comics in Marvel Astonishing Tales. He quickly made a name for himself, working on the Inhumans, The Avengers and Fantastic Four series. A passionate and relentless worker, he went so far as to produce the equivalent of three and a half comics a month, imposing his style and trademark: images packed with characters and teeming with detail. Through all the crises of the comics industry, and after a few years of editorial wandering, he returned to Marvel and DC in the late 90s, working on series such as Superman, Hulk, the Thanos Infinity Gauntlet saga, Teen Titans, Green Arrow, Final Crisis, Justice League of America , Supergirl, The Brave and The Bold, and JLA/Avengers, a story shared between Marvel and DC.
