And on the page, the storytelling power of Pérez’s pencils was fueled by the undeniable joy that came through in every panel
You can’t watch Thanos walking toward the Avengers wielding the power of the Infinity Gauntlet in theand not see Pérez’s cover of 1991’s “Infinity Gauntlet” No. 1. That comic has the look and feel of a big-budget movie with its bevy of Marvel superheroes surrounding an imposing villain. Pérez was the master of the big, pivotal superhero moment. His comics were movies before superhero movies were a consistent thing. Who cared if back then in the ’80s and ’90s comic books weren’t taken seriously by Hollywood? A Pérez-drawn tale was all you needed. One could argue that the Justice League/Avengers crossover in 2003 that he illustrated and co-authored with Kurt Busiek was just as monumental as the first “Spider-Man” movie that came out a year earlier.
