This signing is open to collectors on all CGC global sites!

CGC Signature Series is thrilled to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive Private Signing event with legendary and award-winning comic book creator Chris Claremont!

Claremont has had a celebrated career in comics thanks to his time at Marvel, where he wrote issues of Uncanny X-Men from 1975 to 1991. Credited with developing strong female characters and interweaving literary themes into comics, Claremont is a legend in the comic world. He has been inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame, is a recipient of the Harvey Lifetime Achievement Award, the Yellow Kid Award, the Angouleme Grand Prix Award and many more. He also holds the record for best-selling comic book of all time for his work on X-Men #1.

Claremont began his career in comics at Marvel Comics as an editorial assistant, where his first assignment was on Daredevil. Since then, he has gone on to write extremely important X-Men stories, including The Dark Phoenix Saga and God Loves, Man Kills. Claremont is also the co-creator of fan favorite characters such as Rogue, Gambit, Shadowcat, Mystique, Sabertooth and many more. He has also been published by Dark Horse, Image and DC Comics.
