from a recent Newsarama interview with George Perez:
>> "They were hoping that I’d be involved with [Infinite] Crisis, but up until signing the contract, I thought my involvement would be minimal at best,” Perez said. “After I signed, they figured they’d take advantage of it, and asked me to do the alternate covers, and I’m also penciling five pages in issue #2 – a scene that recaps the history of the DC Universe in five pages, in order to give it that sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths feeling. The pages will be inked by Jerry Ordway, reuniting us for a little bit. Marv’s had his crack at Crisis, with the untold chapter, and the novelization, and now the art team gets back together for one last hurrah on the Crisis characters.”
Perez said that DC has also tapped him to work with a very special writer on one of the tie-in issues to Infinite Crisis – a single-issue story in JSA.
“The story is written by Paul Levitz,” Perez said. “We’ve known each other since we were teenagers, and this is the first time we’ve worked together creatively. Bob Wiacek is inking, with Tom Smith coloring. Alex Ross usually draws the covers for JSA, but, due to his own schedule, has asked that I draw the cover to that issue, so I’ll be doing that one. Even my wife will be in on it, because there’s a whole section that’s supposed to be written in shorthand, and my wife, who used to be a secretary, will be doing some of the partial lettering of Paul’s script as a design element. I’m having a great, great time with that one.” |
