George Pérez, a famed comic book artist who was influential in shaping the Wonder Woman character people know today, died on Friday. He was 67.
A family friend announced the news in a post on social media. Pérez died peacefully at his home with his wife by his side, said Constance Eza. He had an advanced stage of pancreatic cancer.
"We are all very much grieving but, at the same time, we are so incredibly grateful for the joy he brought to our lives," Eza wrote on Saturday. "To know George was to love him; and he loved back. Fiercely and with his whole heart. The world is a lot less vibrant today without him in it."
