George Perez was my all-time favorite comic artist. I always like to point to Crisis on Infinite Earths as one of my jumping-on points for comics, despite reading it decades after it came out for the first. George took 500 characters and made each one feel unique, with carefully detailed mannerisms that brought out at least some aspect of who they were, even in the shots of dozens upon dozens surrounding them. He made me want to learn more about the annoyed looking Firehair or these shocked looking Forgotten Heroes. Every single panel was just a goldmine of DC's treasured history and I honestly can't think of an artist who has better represented both DC and Marvel. Perez always did justice to any character he ever portrayed. I also don't think that he's as stuck in the past as someone like Alex Ross is. Perez just managed faithful, meaningful portrayals of his subjects, wherever he went.

This is easily the comics death that hurts me the most. I know I'll be pulling out my Kang Dynasty, my Crisis, my JLA/Avengers during the coming weeks and looking back at all of his phenomenal work.
