Snapshot … George Perez’s Everyone


Everyone (more or less) by George Pérez. How awesome is this? I like how he grouped some characters together, like the archers in the middle, the speedsters on the left and right sides, and DC’s Trinity near the middle (with Batman’s cape being loud and proud!). Plus, it wasn’t until I was writing this text that I noticed that Marvel’s Sandman is the ground!

RandoMonday: Justice League of America #200

Here’s a cover image from a comic in my collection, chosen at random.

I actually bought this at my local Hasting’s store for $.99. I’m a sucker for anniversary or big number issues. It’s a great, classic JLAers vs each other cover with art by the awesome George Pérez. Notice the background single color strips–George often used this motif, at least as I recall in the New Teen Titans series.
