CGC will be offering an all-new, exclusive, limited edition Rob Liefeld custom label to commemorate this special In-House Private Signing. The label will feature Liefeld’s signature and can be purchased for an additional cost by fans interested in adding it to their Rob Liefeld submissions!

Liefeld’s 37-year career spans work on many of the industry’s top-tier comic franchises from both DC and Marvel including the X-Men, Captain America, The Avengers, Spider-Man, X-Force, Wolverine, Teen Titans, and Hawkman. He single-handedly reinvigorated the New Mutants franchise, transforming it into X-Force, which launched with sales of 5 million copies. X-Force remains the #2 best-selling comic book of all time.

Liefeld started Image Comics with his fellow peers, launching new franchises such as Prophet, Avengelyne, Youngblood, Brigade and Bloodstrike. The sequel to his best-selling Deadpool: Bad Blood, a 5-part limited series, Deadpool: Badder Blood, launches Summer of 2023.

“The CGC Signature Series team is so stoked to have Rob join us for this In-House Private Signing event,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “He is a true legend in the industry. We look forward to seeing all of the awesome remarques and sketches he does for this signing! ”
