Teen Titans Original Artwork By George Pérez Up For Auction

The release of the Hero Initiative edition of JLA/Avengers has brought new appreciation to the comic book artwork of George Pérez. His work includes Deadly Hands of Kung-Fu, Creatures on the Loose, Action Comics, Crisis on Infinite Earths, Wonder Woman, Avengers and Teen Titans. It was that eighties run with Marv Wolfman on New Teen Titans that would prove so popular it would crossover with Marvel's X-Men, and in the early nineties, he would work with Jim Starlin on his Thanos saga, drawing the bulk of the Infinity Gauntlet mini-series. But it's a page of original artwork from his Teen Titans run that is up for auction from ComicConnect today, along with lots of other rare and desirable original comics artwork going under the hammer in a few hours.
