CGC Announces an In-House Private Signing with Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair!
Posted on 5/5/2022
CGC is excited to host the extremely talented comic book creators Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair for another amazing signing event! This creative team has worked together on many high-profile projects such as Batman: Hush, Superman, WildCATs, Infinite Crisis, Gen 13 and All-Star Batman and Robin to name a few. In addition to signing, they will be offering a limited amount of Remarques, Sketches and other options for purchase. See pricing and details below.
One of the most respected artists in the industry, Lee is a Harvey and Inkpot Award-winning artist known for his incredibly detailed and dynamic artistic style. He started his comic book career at Marvel Comics, where his work on X-Men continues to be his lifelong legacy. He was also the artist for many of DC Comics’ bestselling books and graphic novels, including All-Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder, Batman: Hush and Superman: For Tomorrow. Later, he started his own production company, WildStorm Productions, and co-founded Image Comics, an independent comics company that quickly grew to become one of the industry’s largest publishers.
Williams is an Eisner and Inkwell Award-winning artist and inker who has worked for both Marvel and DC Comics throughout his career. He is best known for his work on series such as Batman: Hush, All-Star Batman and Robin, X-Men, WildCATs, Superman and Justice League.
Sinclair is an Inkpot Award winning colorist who has worked on various series for Marvel, DC Comics and Image to name a few. He is most known for his work on Batman: Hush, Blackest Night, Superman, Flashpoint and Harley Quinn. His current projects include Han Solo and Chewbacca, Darth Vader and Venom.
“We are so thrilled to be joined again by this extraordinary team of comic creators who have helped shape the comic industry with their incredible work,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “Their last signing was an absolute pleasure, and we are eager to see all of the amazing Remarques and Sketches that will be created during this event!”
