CGC Announces Fifth Annual Private Signing Event with Acclaimed Comic Book Artist J. Scott Campbell

CGC Signature Series is excited to announce our fifth annual Private Signing with the talented comic book artist J. Scott Campbell! Without a doubt, J. Scott is one of the industry’s finest and most sought-after cover artists with a versatile and unique style that has brought to life many of Marvel and DC’s most iconic characters. For this signing, J. Scott will be signing both comic books and trading cards featuring his art.

In addition to his iconic work for Marvel and DC, he co-founded the Cliffhanger imprint as part of WildStorm Productions and has worked side-by-side with Jim Lee (Gen13), Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead and Oblivion Song), Todd McFarlane (Spawn and Spawn’s Universe), and other acclaimed creators. J. Scott has produced some of the most valuable and sought-after comic variants in the industry such as The Amazing Spiderman #601 (2009), Wolverine #1 Deadpool variant (2010), Siege #3 Deadpool variant (2010), Uncanny X-Men #510 partial sketch variant (2009), Black Cat #1 JSC Exclusive Cover D “Le Chat Noir” and Cover G “Felicia’s Loft” (2019), and the newly released fan-favorite Ultimate Spider-Man #1 (2024).

IMPORTANT: J. Scott will not be signing homage or parody covers of his work by other artists. Such submissions will be returned ungraded with a refund of the signing and grading fees.

CGC is thrilled to offer fans an opportunity to add the exclusive, limited edition J. Scott Campbell custom label to commemorate this special In-House Private Signing. The label will feature Campbell’s signature and can be purchased for an additional cost by fans interested in adding it to their J. Scott Campbell submissions!

Additionally, fans can also add the all-new Black Widow Marvel custom label to their submissions for this In-House Private Signing. The label features Campbell’s stunning Black Widow design and is available for a small additional cost for fans interested in adding it to their J. Scott Campbell submissions!
