CGC Announces In-House Private Signing with Comic Book Writer Ron Marz

CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing with comic book writer, Ron Marz! Marz has carved out a long and acclaimed career in the comics industry, starting with a lengthy run on Silver Surfer for Marvel. Since then, he has worked for virtually every major publisher and compiled a long list of credits, including Thor for Marvel, Green Lantern and Superboy for DC, Star Wars for Dark Horse, and the historic Marvel vs. DC crossover, among many others.

Marz’s long credits list also includes his legendary run on Witchblade for Top Cow/Image, the Skylanders series for IDW, the Justice League: Endless Winter crossover of DC, a triumphant return to one of his signature characters in Silver Surfer Rebirth, and Swamp God for Heavy Metal magazine. Marz has also written for video games, including multiple Skylanders titles, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, and Spider-Man 2. He is currently part of the Diablo narrative team at Blizzard.

“The Signature Series team is looking forward to having Ron join us for this exclusive In-House Private Signing,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “He’s a super versatile writer who has written for so many great series!”

For this exclusive signing, 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, November 11, 2022.
