Over the course of his incredible career, Miller has made a powerful impact on the comic book community, working for a variety of major publishers such as Gold Key, DC and Marvel. He is perhaps best known for reimagining Batman as a dark and brooding hero in The Dark Knight Returns saga. In addition, he has worked on some of the industry's other top titles including Daredevil, Ronin, Sin City and 300. Miller recently illustrated Cursed, a novel that is now an original Netflix series. In 2015, Miller was inducted into the Will Eisner Hall of Fame for his contributions to the comic industry.

Janson is an inker, pencilist and colorist best known for the work he has done alongside Miller on series like The Dark Knight Returns, The Dark Knight III: The Master Race and Daredevil. Some of the many other high-profile series he has worked on include The Adventures of Superman, Detective Comics, The Amazing Spider-Man, The Avengers, Black Panther, Defenders, Howard the Duck and Thor. Throughout his illustrious career, Janson has earned Inkwell, Inkpot and Harvey Awards for his exceptional contributions to comics.

CGC will also be offering an all-new, limited edition Frank Miller custom label for an additional cost for customers interested in adding some extra flair to their graded Frank Miller books!

“The Signature Series team is honored to be hosting Frank and Klaus for this In-House Private Signing opportunity,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “We cannot wait to see all of the fantastic submissions that we’ll be receiving for this signing, plus the Remarques and Sketches gracing these books!”
