Sal Velluto Joins CGC for an Exclusive Private Signing
Posted on 11/5/2025
CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting another exclusive Private Signing with Sal Velluto!
Velluto’s professional career in comics started in 1986. Since then, he has worked for major American publishers like Marvel, DC and Valiant as well as independents and international publishers from Italy, Sweden and Australia.
From 1999 to 2002, Velluto worked on Black Panther for Marvel Comics, thus becoming the most prolific artist to date on this title. From 1989 to 1991, Velluto worked on Marc Spector: Moon Knight, a series that featured the character who has since been brought to life in the successful series on Disney+.
