CGC Announces Seventh Annual Private Signing with Acclaimed Comic Book Artist J. Scott Campbell

CGC Signature Series is excited to announce our seventh annual Private Signing with the acclaimed comic artist J. Scott Campbell! Without a doubt, J. Scott is one of the industry’s finest and most sought-after cover artists with a versatile and unique style that has brought to life many of Marvel and DC’s most iconic characters.

In addition to his iconic work for Marvel and DC, J. Scott co-founded the Cliffhanger imprint as part of WildStorm Productions and has worked side-by-side with Jim Lee (Gen13), Todd McFarlane (Spawn and Spawn’s Universe), and other acclaimed creators. He has also produced some of the most valuable and sought-after comic variants in the industry such as The Amazing Spider-Man #601, #606 and #607 trilogy (2009), Wolverine #1 Deadpool variant (2010), Siege #3 Deadpool variant (2010), Uncanny X-Men #510 partial sketch variant (2009), Black Cat #1 JSC Exclusive Cover D “Le Chat Noir” and Cover G “Felicia’s Loft” (2019). Add to your collection with the 2025 Marvel Just Spectacular Collection (JSC Collection) featuring 56 variants: Spider-Man, MJ, Black Cat, Wolverine, Dr. Strange, Dr. Doom, She-Hulk and more!

IMPORTANT: J. Scott will not be signing homage or parody covers of his work by other artists. These will be returned ungraded with a refund of the signing and grading fees.

CGC is thrilled to offer fans an opportunity to add the exclusive, limited edition J. Scott Campbell custom label to commemorate this special In-House Private Signing. The label will feature J. Scott's signature and can be purchased for an additional cost by fans interested in adding it to their J. Scott Campbell submissions!
