He loved reading and was caught up in the colorful art. Connecting to Superman took him a bit longer. The first hero whose adventures he read was Batman. He loved all kinds of comics, including superheroes, strange science fiction, and westerns, but gravitated to superheroes. Inspired by the art, he sketched on any paper he could find, including torn grocery bags. He was “mesmerized” by comics as a child. Pérez replied that he made that choice at the age of 5 and never wanted to be anything else. Plexico asked how Pérez decided he wanted to be a comic book artist. Although Pérez found doing the recordings alone at his home a strange experience, he was pleased with the way the episode turned out and enjoyed his name on the voice credits with those of the regular cast. When they recorded the conversation, Pérez had recently finishing doing voiceover work for an episode of Teen Titans GO! that featured him and fellow Titans creator Marv Wolfman. On Sunday at 1PM, the Comics and Pop Art track aired Van Allen Plexico’s virtual interview, aptly titled “The Life & Works of George Pérez,” with legendary comics artist George Pérez.
