CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with comic creators Christie Scheele and Jack Morelli! Combined, they have decades worth of experience working on many series for publishers like DC, Marvel and Archie Comics.

Christie Scheele, sometimes credited as Max Scheele, was a colorist for Marvel and DC in the 1980s and 1990s, including over 100 issues of Daredevil. Two of her earliest assignments were a run on Bill Sienkewicz's Moon Knight and an issue of Frank Miller's Daredevil. Some of the many other titles she has colored include The Avengers, The Mighty Thor, The Amazing Spider-Man, Black Panther, Captain America, The Incredible Hulk, Infinity Gauntlet and Star Wars: Return of the Jedi. Scheele is the colorist on the upcoming title, Moon Knight vs. Werewolf by Night: Marvel Tales #1 for Marvel Comics.

Jack Morelli, also credited as John Morelli is a Harvey Award winning comic book writer and letterer. He is especially known for his work designing comic book logos. Morelli has worked on dozens of series including Archie, Captain America, Aquaman, The Avengers, Batman: Gotham Knights, Betty & Veronica, Daredevil, Darkhawk, Fantastic Four, Green Arrow and many more. Upcoming series featuring his work include Sabrina the Teenage Witch: Annual Spectacular, World of Archie Jumbo Comics Digest, Chilling Adventures Presents - Madam Satan: Hell on Earth and World of Betty and Veronica Jumbo Comics Digest.
