Skottie Young, Comic Book Artist, Writer, and Baby Variant Extraordinaire Joins the CGC In-House Private Signing Lineup 

Posted on 7/2/2020

CGC’s In-House Private Signings just got a whole lot hotter (and funnier) with the addition of comic book artist and writer, Skottie Young! Young’s fans will be even more excited to hear that he is offering his incredible Remarques in addition to his signature — but hurry, there’s only a limited number available for purchase.

Those who have followed Young’s career know he has an arsenal of work under his belt like Marvel’s Spider-Man: Legend of the Spider Clan, Human Touch, Venom and Deadpool. Young is also widely known for his 100s of highly collectible baby variants which are a fun and humorous take on the original comic characters and storyline. In addition, Young has worked on stories like the adaptation of the L. Frank Baum OZ novels; writing and drawing Rocket Raccoon; illustrating Fortunately, The Milk by Neil Gaiman; and he later created, wrote and drew the series I Hate Fairyland at Image Comics. He continues to work on a number of Marvel creations along with his own creator-owned projects.

“Wow, 2020 has definitely thrown all of us for a loop, and I miss connecting with fans at comic cons,” said Young. “I hope my CGC In-House Private Signing makes up for it a little bit. I can’t wait to see which books you guys send in for me to sign and Remarque.”

For Young’s CGC In-House Private Signing, both free and paid CGC members can submit collectibles directly to CGC headquarters in Florida. CGC will coordinate with Young for the collectibles to be signed in mid-September.

If the CGC In-House Private Signing needs to be rescheduled, CGC will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be rescheduled.

After Young signs the collectibles, CGC will grade them with expedited turnaround times of three weeks for grading or six weeks for grading and pressing. Collectibles are then shipped back to their owners.

The CGC In-House Private Signing fee of $80 per item includes:

  • Skottie Young’s signature
  • Expedited turnaround time of three weeks for CGC grading
  • Expedited turnaround time of six weeks for CGC grading and CCS pressing (an additional $20 fee applies for CCS pressing)
