 Longtime Artist Announces Retirement Due to Health Issues

George Pérez has announced his formal retirement from comics. He released a press statement that reads: "In recent months, there has been a great deal of speculation as to the future of my career, my health, my ability to draw and my future convention appearances. As a result, I would like to clear up everything first hand so that, hopefully, any rumors, speculation and misinformation can be laid to rest. With respect to future published work in comics and such... while I know it’s been no secret that I’ve been dealing with a myriad number of health issues (diabetes, heart ailments, vision issues, etc.)," he continued, referencing some of his health troubles, "they have indeed have forced me to, for all intents and purposes, formally retire from the business of creating new comic stories." Pérez will also stop doing privately commissioned drawings because the work was a major strain on his eyes. He will keep doing sketches for conventions but not at the cons so you have to contact his art agent Spencer Beck of The Artists Choice. He will do five head sketches that have to be ordered in advance and picked up personally by fans at the show. Pérez will still be available for autographs and photo ops at the show and he will not charge fans for that.
