It was the addition of George Perez to the first roster of guests at the London Super Con a few months ago that caused all manner of British comic fans' ears to twitch. It was clearly a sign they meant business – that this wasn't a comic mart with ideas of grandeur, but something closer to the UKCACs of old.

Well George has revealed his submitted design for the convention programme cover, the first time he has drawn the Trinity together in their new 52 guise. And what's more, they're all based on his friends. He writes;

In the most recent issue of SUPERMAN, I noticed that the lead character, as drawn by Jesus Merino, oft times bore a resemblance to my dear Jonathan Carroll, so I decided to follow that through in this illo. In a previous sketch I drew of Wonder Woman (as well as Jim Lee's drawings in JLA), it dawned on me how much she resembles my niece Milla, so I went that route with her here as well. Then, for the new Batman I chose another cosplay chum (although, quite honesty, it is difficult to tell beneath the cowl) named Bryan Morton to complete the triumvirate.
