Posted on 8/28/2023
CGC is thrilled to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with comic book creators Adam Kubert and Larry Hama! These two legends have created many fan favorite comics for Marvel and DC Comics throughout their impressive careers in the industry. In addition to signing, they will be offering Remarques as well as a Duo Signature option. See pricing and details below.
Adam Kubert is an Eisner Award winning artist that began his career in comics at the age of twelve lettering for DC. Since then he has had a long and prolific career, spending most of it under exclusive contract for Marvel. Although he is best known for his work on Wolverine and the X-Men books, his portfolio includes The Fantastic Four, Avengers, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Spider-Man, Superman, and Ghost Rider. Also an educator, Adam taught narrative art for almost twenty years at a school founded by his father, Joe Kubert. Kubert has upcoming covers on the all-new Spider-Man: India series releasing this summer for Marvel Comics.
Hama is best known for his work on G.I. Joe for Marvel Comics and has worked on other series for the publishing giant such as Wolverine, The Punisher War Zone, Iron Fist: Heart of the Dragon, Avengers and Kitty Pryde, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. Hama has also worked on a handful of Batman stories for DC Comics including Batman, Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight, Batman: Shadow of the Bat and Batman: Toyman.
