About the item: From the George Perez Collection... This hand-made Wonder Woman figure stands approximately 6 inches tall when assembled - it is now disassembled but the photos show it both together and disassembled). It appears to be made of metal and can easily come apart in transport, which is why it will be shipped disassembled. But it can easily be reassembled with glue which is how it appears it was originally put together. One can clearly see it is from pre-fabricated parts designed to be glued together and is not actually broken (though what the figure was before it was turned it into Wonder Woman I cannot tell). Made by a fan and presented as a gift to the artist, it was prominently displayed in Mr. Perez's home studio alongside many other personal mementos from his career. This item is from the personal collection of Mr. Perez and includes a certificate of authenticity from Vault Collectibles (dba as empire.auctions).

About George Perez George Perez?s amazing career spans five decades, beginning in 1974 with a 2-page spread in Astonishing Tales #25. Since that time he helped revolutionize and revitalize several characters and titles, including The New Teen Titans (also co-creating several of the new members with writer Marv Wolfman), Wonder Woman, The Avengers, and the entire DC Universe itself in the landmark Crisis on Infinite Earths series (again with Wolfman) and its companion piece, the History of the DC Universe. More recently, he again helped redefine DC through Infinite Crisis and the relaunch of Superman under DC?s New 52. In addition to ground-breaking events, Perez has provided fantastic work for many other titles including The Justice League of America, The Infinity Gauntlet, The Hulk: Future Imperfect, Batman, The X-Men, Superman, The Fantastic Four, and the personal dream project JLA/Avengers that brought together DC and Marvel?s preeminent super teams. Many of his contributions have made it onto the silver screen, including strong influences on DC?s Wonder Woman films (indeed, Perez's Wonder Woman work was the very basis of the first film) and in Marvel?s cinematic universe (Perez's influence can be seen in everything from the gauntlet ?snap? - which Perez first illustrated - to the main Age of Ultron fight scene which was specifically based on Perez?s artwork). A true humanitarian as well, Perez helped raise funds for numerous charities over the course of his career and also co-founded A.C.T.O.R. (now known as the Hero Initiative), the first federally recognized not-for-profit organization dedicated to helping comic book creators in need. Recognized by industry professionals as well as fans, Perez has won multiple awards and honors, including several Eagle Awards (one along with Jim Shooter, Sal Buscema, and David Wenzel) for Best Continued Story on The Avengers, one for Best Cover for Avengers #185, and one for Favorite Artist (penciler) in 1986.
