Internationally renowned comic book artist and writer George Pérez has won just about every award the comics industry has had to offer in his 26 year career and is currently among the top ten most popular working artists in the world. Among his most famous work are stints on Wonder Woman, The Avengers, Crisis On Infinite Earths, Fantastic Four, New Teen Titans, Sachs & Violens, Justice League of America and his own creator-owned project Crimson Plague launched in June of 2000 (and featuring several familiar faces from Double Trouble Productions).

George's involvement with DT stretches back almost 15 years as one of the company's earliest regular customers. One fateful day in 1998 George finally decided to commission a custom match featuring Super Maiden and Amazon Queen (which was released as part of DT-372). He was so impressed by the rough cut that he immediately wrote a script for a return engagement for the heroines, this time confronting a new villainess named Darkraven in DT-380.

Then, he wrote another, then another — and another — and the Sisterhood of Superheroines series was born, each new story pushing the entertainment and excitement envelope ever further. This series has become one of the most successful series in Double Trouble history.

But this was more than just a professional collaboration. The more the folks at DT and George got to know each other, the more we fell in love and the more we wanted to do for one another. In addition to supervising, scripting and occasionally directing the SoS series, (and providing illustrated portraits as gifts to our heroines), George has generously volunteered to write all the match descriptions for our bi-monthly mailers and web updates, to catalogue all our tapes according to categories and to collate them by which girl appears in them.

Why would an artist of George's stature do all this — especially for free? George explains, "I've been a fan of female combat since my adolescence and DT Productions has always satisfied my specialized tastes. In addition to that, the people who work there are among the nicest, the most loving, the most generous people I could ever hope to meet. They are my friends, my new family, and DT is like a second home. I hope to be involved with DT Productions for as long as they will have me."
