CGC Welcomes Jim Shooter, the Legendary Comic Book Writer, Editor and Publisher, for a Second In-House Private Signing

CGC is thrilled to announce an exclusive In-House Private Signing with comics professional Jim Shooter! This will be CGC’s second time hosting the legendary comic book writer, editor and publisher. In addition to signatures, Shooter is offering Remarques (roughly 2” x 2” in size). The Remarques will be limited to the first 100 submitters. See examples and pricing details below.

Shooter began his legacy at age 13 when he first sold his Legion of Super-Heroes story to DC Comics. He later went on to take over the industry when he became editor-in-chief of Marvel Comics in 1978. The acclaimed writer, editor and publisher has worked for various comic book companies, including Dark Horse and DC Comics. Shooter has written numerous titles such as Superboy, Superman, Secret Wars and many more. His comic career is an inspiration to fans all over the world.

Many know Shooter for his notable work developing in-depth characters and his love for crossover comics, such as the Korvac Saga, where he brought together Avengers and Guardians of the Galaxy characters in a collaborative series. After leaving Marvel, Shooter co-founded Valiant Comics.

“CGC is so excited to host such an influential comic creator for a second time!” exclaimed Brittany McManus, CGC’s Signature Series Director. “Mr. Shooter is a legend within the comic community and has been an integral part in building so many classic comic worlds that we all know and love. This event is going to bring in such a cool variety of books, and it’s amazing that he has decided to offer 100 Remarques! We think CGC comic collectors are going to be thrilled about this signing opportunity.”
