CGC Announces Private Signing with Comic Book Creators John Giang, Alessandro Cappuccio and Chris Condon
Posted on 1/16/2026
CGC Signature Series is thrilled to announce an exclusive Private Signing event with the mighty Marvel team of John Giang, Alessandro Cappuccio and Chris Condon.
John Giang is an admired concept artist, art director and illustrator who has worked and collaborated with Marvel Studios, DC Comics, Paramount, Lucasfilm, Disney, Lego, Hasbro and ImageFX in the areas of film, video games, comics and toys. Giang’s unique vision has been on covers for Spider-Man, Venom, Deadpool, Batman, Superman, Star Wars, Spawn, Transformers, The Last Ronin, TMNT, Something is Killing the Children, Department of Truth and G.I. Joe. Credited with designing the landscapes and characters for some of Hollywood's biggest blockbusters, his work has been featured in many critically acclaimed films such as Star Wars: Rogue One, Avengers: Age of Ultron, The Avengers, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Star Trek, Transformers: Dark of the Moon and Pacific Rim.
Alessandro Cappuccio gained major attention for his work on Moon Knight at Marvel, where his moody linework and inventive page layouts helped redefine the character’s psychological edge. Today he’s one of the key artists on Ultimate Wolverine, a flagship title in Marvel’s Ultimate Universe with writer Chris Condon, and he’s also contributed to Ultimate Universe: One Year In specials and variant work tied to the imprint.
Chris Condon broke out with That Texas Blood at Image Comics and its Wild West prequel, The Enfield Gang Massacre, earning praise for grounded characters and moral nuance. Currently he’s scripting Marvel’s Ultimate Wolverine alongside Alessandro Cappuccio and has been writing Green Arrow for DC, while also wrapping up News from the Fallout, a dark sci-fi horror miniseries from Image.
