Visionary Comic Book Artist Michael Golden Joins CGC In-House Private Signing Lineup

Posted on 6/10/2020

CGC, in conjunction with Eva Ink Artist Group, is thrilled to welcome illustrator-writer Michael Golden to the incredible lineup of In-House Private Signing artists! Golden is considered a true visionary in the industry, with his realistically detailed illustrations gracing comics since the 1970s. He is widely known for his work on Marvel Comics’ The Micronauts, Doctor Strange and Marvel Fanfare, as well as his co-creation of the characters Rogue from the X-Men and Star Wars artist. Golden has also drawn for DC Comics’ Nightwing, Superman: The Man of Steel and Vigilant, just to name a few.

But wait, there’s more: This CGC In-House Private Signing is going to be an extra-special event because Golden is also offering Remarques and Sketch Cover art for his fans at a first-come-first-serve basis. (See more details below.)

“The cancellation of comic cons and shows this year has left a big hole in the lives of everyone who loves comics. I was so accustomed to traveling to shows around the world to see all of you! Until we can do that again ... I’m elated that my agent, Renee, and CGC set up this In-House Private Signing. Keep calm and comic book on,” Golden remarked.

For Golden’s CGC In-House Private Signing, both free and paid CGC members can submit collectibles directly to CGC headquarters in Florida. CGC will coordinate with Golden for the collectibles to be signed in mid-August.

If the CGC In-House Private Signing needs to be rescheduled due to show postponements or cancellations, travel restrictions or other reasons, CGC will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be rescheduled.

After Golden signs the collectibles, CGC will grade them with expedited turnaround times of three weeks for grading or six weeks for grading and pressing. Collectibles are then shipped back to their owners.
