Rachta Lin Joins CGC for an Exclusive In-House Private Signing Event

CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing with comic artist, Rachta Lin! In 2015, Rachta took a leap of faith and quit her job to become a full-time illustrator. Since then, her art has gained her a legion of followers and commissions from various companies including DC Comics and Magic the Gathering. After honing her abilities with a renowned Japanese manga publisher and submitting her work to various contests, Rachta is finally living her dream of publishing her very own manga series, The Wonderverse Saga. Fans looking for her amazing art can find her past work in series such as Absolute Batman, Catwoman, Draculina, Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy. She also has an upcoming cover on Black Canary: Best of the Best from DC Comics slated for a February 2025 release! In addition to a Classic signature, Rachta will also be offering Shadow and Rainbow signature options for this signing. See below for details.
