George Perez, a DC Comics artist and writer who helped relaunch “Wonder Woman” and illustrated “New Teen Titans,” died on Saturday at the age of 67, the comics publisher confirmed.

According to Variety, the South Bronx native died quietly beside his wife of pancreatic cancer.

“George Pérez had an art style that was both dynamic and incredibly expressive,” DC Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee said in a statement.

“His art was the perfect storytelling canvas for some of the most important events in DC history. While he will be sorely missed, his work will live on with a countless number of fans, as well as all the talent he’s influenced over the years.”

In the 1980s, he collaborated with creator Marv Wolfman on the legendary New Teen Titans series as a writer, co-plotter, penciller, and inker. According to D.C., Perez was also the “creative power” behind the 1985 crossover series “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” which commemorated the company’s 50th anniversary while streamlining continuity across its titles.

He illustrated the D.C. Comics-Marvel crossover “JLA/Avenger” in 2003-2004, which featured characters from both the Justice League of America and the Avengers.
