CGC Announces In-House Private Signing with Comic Book Writer Ron Marz

CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting another exclusive In-House Private Signing with comic book writer, Ron Marz! Marz has been writing comics for three decades, starting his career with a lengthy run on Silver Surfer for Marvel Comics. Since then, he has worked for virtually every major publisher, compiling a long list of credits, including stints on Thor for Marvel, Green Lantern and Superboy for DC Comics, Star Wars for Dark Horse Comics and the historic Marvel vs. DC crossover. 

Among Marz’s numerous credits is his acclaimed run on Witchblade for Top Cow/Image, the Skylanders series for IDW, Turok and John Carter: Warlord of Mars for Dynamite and Fathom for Aspen. He is the Editor-in-Chief and Lead Writer for the revived Ominous Press, penning Dread Gods, Demi-God, Beasts of the Black Hand and Harken’s Raiders. Recent projects include the Justice League: Endless Winter crossover for DC and Swamp God and World Traveler, two new series for Metal Metal magazine.

 Marz’s creator-owned series include the all-ages tale Dragon Prince at Top Cow; the historical adventure Samurai: Heaven and Earth at Dark Horse; and the vampire tale Shinku at Image. Marz has also written for video games, including multiple Skylanders titles, Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2, Spider-Man 2 and more. Marz is the writer on the upcoming Silver Surfer Rebirth: Legacy series for Marvel Comics.
