CGC Announces an In-House Private Signing with Al Milgrom, Comic Industry Icon

Milgrom began his career in the comic industry as an assistant for inker Murphy Anderson. During that time, Milgrom contributed to Charlton Comics’ Many Ghosts of Doctor Graves, Star*Reach and comics published by Warren Publishing before joining forces with Marvel.

At Marvel, Milgrom pencilled for Captain Marvel and Guardians of the Galaxy, which was featured in Marvel Presents. He also wrote and drew The Incredible Hulk, The Amazing Spider-Man and The Deadly Foes of Spider-Man limited series. In addition, Milgrom worked as editor at DC Comics and co-created Ronnie Raymond, the original Firestorm. He is an Inkwell Awards Special Recognition Award recipient.

“We are so excited to have Al Milgrom back at CGC headquarters for another amazing In-House Private Signing event,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “Al has worked on some of the biggest titles in comics and has contributed an astonishing amount of work that has shaped our generation. You don’t want to miss out on this exciting opportunity to get your own Al Milgrom Remarque and signature, so be sure to check out this signing!”
