George Perez has been one of my favorite comic book artists for nearly 30 years. Twenty-five years ago, I bought a page of original art from the Fantastic Four annual George drew in 1980. I bought it from the book's writer, Doug Moench, for a whole $8.00. Although I've seen George at many cons since, I'd never thought of having the page signed -- until this convention. Here, George (right) and writer Kurt Busiek stare in amazement at the page.
