CGC Announces In-House Private Signing with Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair!

Posted on 3/12/2025

CGC welcomes back the legendary trio just in time for their return to Batman for H2SH. Don’t miss this chance to get your comics and cards signed!

CGC is excited to host the extremely talented comic book creators Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair for another amazing signing event! This creative team has worked together on many high-profile projects such as Batman: Hush, Superman, WildC.A.T.s, Infinite Crisis, Gen 13 and All-Star Batman and Robin to name a few. In addition to signing, they will be offering Remarques, Sketches and Buckslips for purchase. See pricing and details below.

The trio reunites with Batman #158 in March 2025 to return to the world of Batman, for H2SH — the anticipated sequel to their 2003 hit, which followed Batman as he unraveled a conspiracy orchestrated by a mysterious villain named Hush.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to welcome back this incredible team of comic creators after their amazing signing last year!” said Brittany McManus, CGC VP of Autographs. “This is an incredible opportunity for fans to get their comics and cards signed by some of the biggest names in the industry. We can’t wait to see the stunning remarques and sketches they’ll create.”
