Offered here is Page 29 from The New Titans #58 (1989) featuring an exceptional collaboration between three legendary creators. George Pérez provided the storytelling layouts, Tom Grummett completed the finished pencils, and Bob McLeod applied the final inks for publication.
This page captures one of the most dramatic moments from the Wildebeest Society storyline as Victor Stone (Cyborg) fights for his life while the Titans struggle to understand the mysterious force attacking him. The page closes with the unforgettable editorial teaser:
“Next Issue: DEATH OF A HERO!!!”
That final panel gives this page tremendous narrative weight, preserving one of the era’s classic cliffhanger endings.
Why This Page Matters
This artwork represents a fascinating moment in New Titans history. During this period, George Pérez remained creatively involved by producing the page layouts—the visual storytelling, pacing, and compositions that made him one of comics’ greatest storytellers. Rising star Tom Grummett then completed the finished pencils, adding the expressive anatomy and polished rendering that would soon define his celebrated runs on Superboy, Adventures of Superman, and other DC titles.
The artwork is beautifully finished by Bob McLeod, one of comics’ most respected inkers. McLeod is widely known as the co-creator of The New Mutants alongside Chris Claremont and has collaborated with many of the industry’s finest pencilers over a career spanning Marvel and DC. His clean, confident finishes give this page exceptional clarity and depth.
This unique combination of George Pérez layouts, Tom Grummett finished pencils, and Bob McLeod inks makes the page especially appealing to collectors of all three artists.
