Today is a sad one for comic book fans as one of titans of the industry, George Pérez, has died from pancreatic cancer. Pérez’s wife Constance shared the news on social media, writing “Everyone knows George’s legacy as a creator. His art, characters, and stories will be revered for years to come. But, as towering as that legacy is, it pales in comparison to the legacy the man that George was. George’s true legacy is his kindness. It’s the love he had for bringing others joy – and I hope you can carry that with you always. Today is Free Comic Book Day. A day George absolutely loved and a fitting day to remember his contributions to comics and to our lives. I hope you’ll enjoy your day today with him in mind. He would have loved that.”
