CGC Announces In-House Private Signing with Geof Isherwood

CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing with Geof Isherwood!

Isherwood is best known for his work at Marvel on characters like Thor, Doctor Strange and Conan the Barbarian. Some series he has worked on include Thor: Sunlight & Shadows, Avengers: Citizen Kang, X-51, Peter Parker: Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man. Aside from his work on comics, he was a storyboard artist in the film industry and an art professor at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario, which he recently retired from.

He has made a recent comeback in the comics world, drawing two issues of Savage Sword of Conan last year (issues #5 and #6) with Jason Aaron, and working with Sara Frazetta on a Fire & Ice spin-off that should be completed in the next few months. He also has a major film job in the works, but he’s not allowed to give us any info about it yet — guess we’ll have to wait and see!
