CGC Welcomes Marvel Writer Tini Howard for an Exclusive Private Signing

CGC is excited to announce a Private Signing event with the talented comic book writer Tini Howard! Not only has she been writing the Tim Seeley spin-off Hack/Slash: Resurrection, but she was also given her own series from Marvel Comics: Bêlit, Queen of the Black Coast. Her other popular titles include Magdalena from Image/Top Cow Comics and The Skeptics from Black Mask Studios.

In addition to her most recent work, Tini Howard is known for Marvel titles such as Thanos: Zero Sanctuary, Strikeforce, and Excalibur from the best selling Dawn of X. She has also written comics for major titles such as Rick and Morty, Power Rangers and Barbie. She has created comic books such as Assassinistas and Euthanauts which were published by IDW.

“Tini Howard is a fantastic writer who has contributed so much to the comic world,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “Because she has created and worked on some of the greatest titles of all time, we can’t wait to see what fans send in for this signing!”

For this exclusive event, ALL CGC members, including free CGC members, can submit books directly to CGC headquarters in Sarasota, Florida. CGC must receive all submissions for this event by Friday, July 16, 2021.

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

After Tini Howard signs the submitted books, CGC will grade and encapsulate them with an estimated turnaround time of six weeks. If CCS pressing is also requested, the turnaround time is estimated at eight weeks. After grading and encapsulation, the collectibles will be shipped back to their owners.

The CGC Private Signing fee for Tini Howard is $65 per item and includes:

• Tini Howard’s signature
