Scott Hampton Joins CGC for an Exclusive In-House Private Signing

CGC is excited to be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with comic book artist Scott Hampton, a freelance artist known for his diversity. He has illustrated such iconic properties as Batman, Sandman, Black Widow, Hellraiser and Star Trek. Hampton began his career following in the footsteps of brother and fellow comic book creator, Bo Hampton. His work on Silverheels, from Pacific Comics in 1983 is regarded as the first continuing painted comic. Some of Hampton’s latest works include Batman: Gotham County Line written by Steve Nile from DC Comics and Spookhouse from IDW Publishing in which he adapted his favorite ghost stories into sequential form. Recently, he worked on the graphic novel, Trespassers. In addition to signing, Hampton will be offering Remarques and a variety of Sketch options for purchase. See pricing and details below.
