David Nakayama Returns to CGC for a Private Signing
Posted on 8/28/2024
CGC Signature Series is excited to announce that we will be hosting another exclusive Private Signing with the extremely talented comic book artist David Nakayama! Nakayama has penciled and done cover work for Marvel, DC, Dark Horse, Dynamite and Zenescope. In addition to signing, Nakayama will be offering a limited amount of Remarques for purchase.

Nakayama was born in Hawaii and began his career in the comic industry when his first published work appeared in Star Wars Tales #17. Early in his career, he won Wizard Magazine's "Be The Next Top Cow Superstar" contest and relocated to Los Angeles, California where he went to work for Top Cow Productions under the tutelage of Marc Silvestri. Since then, Nakayama has gone on to work for many different publishers and has been a part of series such as Marvel Adventures: Hulk, Marvel Adventures: Spider-man, Daredevil, Venom, Spider-Gwen, X-Men, Ghost Rider, Black Panther, Poison Ivy, Red Sonja and Grimm Fairy Tales. Some of his recent work includes gorgeous covers on series like Thundercats, Wolverine: Revenge and Fall of the House of X.
