Description

Love these pages of vintage George Perez, particularly a nice interior page that includes a splash!

When I saw the first page of original art for Topaz, I mistakenly thought there had been some terrible trimming, since the art image went right up to the border. A moment later, you see Perez was putting an 11"x14.5" image on an 11"x17" page to fit the magazine size format, and so the cropping looks off.

Art from 1978 with an image area of 11x14.5 on an 11x17 board.

A princess not to be trifled with. Beautiful, splashy page!

I love seeing early work by great artists. All the elements are there already. All time adds is a sheen and incremental progress.

It looks like a design Perez would use as basis for Starfire of Blackfire with the space warrior princess theme that was popular once more in the late 70's.
