"Running late, again, but anyway...
There will be at least as many collections and remembrance albums for George Perez in the future as there was published during his lifetime.
Below is one of the latter, courtesy of Google, and I have tried several…"
"While I don't know whether or not George Perez got to draw everybody that existed within his lifetime, he definitely could draw anybody well.
Even this guy, courtesy of the Grand Comics Database."

"Afraid I don't have anything Father's Day appropriate, but I do have this stunning (aren't they all?) George Perez cover to share with everyone, courtesy of the Grand Comics Database."
"Not sure why the cover was drawn and printed sideways, but is this George Perez's lone Howard the Duck illustration?

"George Perez did the art for the original DC comics when they were giveaways within selected Atari Games, so it was only natural that he'd come back to do covers for the new comic book years later. Although the title went issues 0-5, he…"
"I'm surprised this one hasn't come up yet.
I liked the basic concept behind the forming of CrossGen Comics: gather a bunch of creators in one spot and hope to catch lightning in a bottle again ala the original Mighty Marvel Bullpen.

"Another simplistic yet detailed George Perez cover.
Note the individual chain/mail links plus stone patterning, let alone how well Perez could draw the female form.
(Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"You have to admire George Perez's attention to detail and making sure everyone still looks like they're supposed to, even in a major crowd scene.
(Image courtesy of the Grand Comics Database.)"
"George Perez knew that sometimes a cover could be "simple and understated" and still be dramatic.
