Perez Appreciation Post
Today we have again by the Maestro George Perez, a penicl and ink drawing of the cover of the Changling issue of the 4 part Teen Titans miniseries from the early 80s. Once again, the detail. Look at how each of the faces is different and distinct, just like in real life. Even all the individual blades of grass at the bottom...just peak Perez.
In the middle of couse, we have Changling, aka Beast Boy. Around him we have some of the animals be changed into. On the far left we have him in his earlier Beast Boy cotume. Then we have a gorilla, panther, snake, opposum, rhino, bird and then as an even younger Gar Logan, before he became a hero.
Above all this we have from his earlier pre-Titans years, some African medicine man from when he gained his powers; his parents who died in Africa; I don't know who the blonde chick is; The Doom Patrol who adopted him and he worked with (top to bottom: Negative Man, Robotman, Mento, Professor and Elasti-Girl); and I forget the name of the bad guy, killed his parents and tried to kill him as a kid.
And above all them is the Original Teen Titans, both East and West, who he worked with: Golden Eagle, Speedy, Mal, Bumblebee, Beast Boy himself, Robin, Gnaark, Wonder Girl, Kid Flash, Aqualad, and Lilith.
That's an awful lot of people and faces to be crammed into one panel.
