Another new title George Perez took on the penciling for was I-Bots.
The time is the not too distant future. Technology has accelerated at an unbelievable rate. There are those factions who are for the advancement of technology and those that are against it.
Written by Stephen Grant, the series was part of the Tekno Comics Line with a storyline taken from science fiction writer Isaac Asimov’s original concept.
As always the artwork by George Perez delivers in every panel. The early computer generated coloring while a little bright and muddy in a few parts nonetheless is a forerunner of the computer coloring that would soon dominate comic books.
Joseph Rubenstein and Mike Witherby inked George’s pencils.
In the mid-1990s George turned out some of the best work of his career. He was at the top of his game.
He refined his pencils beginning in the mid-1980s and as the decade progressed his talent for page layouts, character design and story-telling pacing and dynatism continued to improve.
Comparing his work to his earlier art from the 1970s is like comparing night and day.
I-Bots sees George at his best. Issue #1 can be purchased for around $5.
