We, like everyone in the comic community, were deeply saddened by the news of George Perez's stage 4 cancer diagnosis.
When we were still in the business of putting on comic conventions, George was our constant companion, attending almost all of our shows since his first appearance in Pittsburgh in 1999.
In George, we had found a kindred spirit, a man who loves his fans as much as they love him.
Of all the comic professionals we have ever encountered, no one stands above George in talent, compassion, enthusiasm, and grace.
A talented artist. A loving husband. An incredible friend.
I wish not to eulogize the man while he is still alive, instead I pray for healing, I pray for comfort, I pray for miracles, and I pray he have as many peaceful, loving days on this earth as his body allows.
We love you George
Your Pittsburgh Comicon Family
