CGC Announces In-House Private Signing with David Finch!

CGC is thrilled to offer collectors another opportunity to have their comics signed by the amazing David Finch! Admired in the industry for his phenomenal skills as an artist and the standout work he has done for DC, Marvel and Image Comics, Finch started his career in comics on the series Cyberforce for Top Cow Productions. He then went to Marvel, and during the 2000s, series like Ultimate X-Men, The New Avengers, Moon Knight, Ultimatum and Brightest Day all featured the signature David Finch style inside their pages and quickly rose in popularity.

After his time with Marvel, Finch went to work for DC exclusively and had a hand in many of their biggest series, including Batman, Batman: The Dark Knight, Justice League of America and Wonder Woman. He is also the winner of the Joe Shuster Award and the Eisner Award.
