Comic Book Artist and Writer Bill Morrison Joins the Incredible Lineup of CGC In-House Private Signers 

Calling all Simpsons fans! Comic book artist and writer Bill Morrison is coming to CGC headquarters for an In-House Private Signing. At the event, Morrison will offer his signature as well as his fun Remarques for purchase. CGC is extremely excited to let Morrison fans know that he is even going to select a few lucky books for FREE Remarques!

Morrison is an Eisner Award-winning comic book artist, writer and art director, and has worked for Disney, The Simpsons, Bongo Comics and on several co-created comic book series. For many, Morrison is known for his long relationship with The Simpsons franchise and his work within the Futurama series. Morrison has drawn thousands of creations for The Simpsons, from t-shirts to packaging to video games and various limited-edition prints.

When The Simpsons creator, Matt Groening, decided to start his own comic book company, Bongo Comics, Morrison was hired on as the art director. Morrison went on to draw the very first The Simpsons comic, and has had his hand in every comic book at Bongo Comics since. Including, the highly successful Futurama Series where he not only edited every book but also drew several covers and art directed the TV show. Morrison has also written and drawn his own comic book series Roswell, Little Green Man and co-created Heroes Anonymous and Lady Robotika.

“We’ve all missed doing many of the things we enjoy this year. To make the situation better, we have to adapt and go about life a little, or a lot, differently,” said Morrison. “Embracing this concept, I’m really looking forward to coming to CGC for this In-House Private Signing, and I can’t wait to see what you send me! Who knows? Maybe you’ll get a complimentary Remarque!”

For Morrison’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 Morrison for the collectibles to be signed in October.
