CGC Announces In-House Private Signing with Comic Book Writer Brad Meltzer

CGC is thrilled to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with Brad Meltzer. Meltzer is an Eisner Award winning and Emmy-nominated writer with an impressive portfolio of writing credits. 

Meltzer is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of Identity Crisis, Justice League of America, Green Arrow, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and bestselling thrillers like The Escape Artist and The Lightning Rod. His comic book work has also appeared in Action Comics #1000, Marvel Comics #1000, Detective Comics # 27, Superman/Batman #26, Last Will & Testament, and his Medal of Honor story in Our Fighting Forces, which he did with Jim Lee.

He also writes non-fiction books like The Nazi Conspiracy and the Ordinary People Change the World kids book series, which inspired the Emmy-nominated TV show on PBS KIDS, Xavier Riddle and the Secret Museum. In addition to his fiction, Meltzer is one of the only authors to ever have books on the bestseller list for Non-Fiction, Advice, Children’s Books, and even comic books, for which he won the prestigious Eisner Award. Meltzer is also the host of Brad Meltzer’s Decoded on the History Channel, and is responsible for helping find the missing 9/11 flag with his show, Brad Meltzer’s Lost History.

For this exclusive event, 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, May 26, 2023.

If the In-House Private Signing needs to be rescheduled, CGC will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be rescheduled.
