Finch’s career in comics started on the series Cyberforce for Top Cow Productions. He then went to Marvel, where some of his most popular work was done. During the aughts, series like Ultimate X-Men, The New Avengers, Moon Knight, Ultimatum and Brightest Day all featured the signature David Finch style inside their pages and quickly rose in popularity. After his time with Marvel, Finch went to work for DC exclusively and had a hand in many big name series including Batman, Batman: The Dark Knight, Justice League of America and Wonder Woman. 

“The CGC Signature Series team cannot wait for David Finch to join us for this In-House Private Signing,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “He is an extremely talented artist, and we can’t wait to see all the stunning Remarques and Sketches he does for this event.”
