Letters / Postcards for George Perez!
On December 7, 2021, the news broke that legendary artist George Perez had inoperable stage three pancreatic cancer. Mr. Perez, 67, is known for his amazing art on titles such as The Teen Titans, Crisis on Infinitive Earths, The Avengers and so many more. George Perez released the following at that time:
“I have Stage 3 Pancreatic Cancer. It is surgically inoperable and my estimated life expectancy is between 6 months to a year. I have been given the option of chemotherapy and/or radiation therapy, but after weighing all the variables and assessing just how much of my remaining days would be eaten up by doctor visits, treatments, hospital stays and dealing with the often stressful and frustrating bureaucracy of the medical system, I’ve opted to just let nature take its course and I will enjoy whatever time I have left as fully as possible with my beautiful wife of 40 years, my family, my friends and my fans.”
Since the announcement, Mr. Perez has posted regular updates on his Facebook page. George Perez has displayed amazing grace, peace of mind and love of live. Shelton Drum, owner of the Heroes Aren’t Hard to Find comic store and creator of HeroesCon, is collecting letters/postcards for George Perez that he will personally deliver. All must be received by February 20th. If you’d like to participate the address is:
