CGC Announces a Private Signing with Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair!

CGC is beyond thrilled to be hosting the multi-talented comic book artist Jim Lee for an exclusive Private Signing event! Lee is a comic book artist, writer, editor and publisher who currently works as the Publisher and Chief Creative Officer at DC Comics. In recognition of his work, he has received a Harvey Award, Inkpot Award and three Wizard Fan Awards.

In addition to signing, Jim Lee will also be offering his incredible Remarques and sketches for purchase. A limited amount of Remarques and sketches will be available, and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis, so be sure to see examples and pricing details below! Remarques will only be done on normal covers, and sketches will only be done on blank sketch covers. No Remarques will be done on blank sketch covers.

Known for his incredibly detailed and dynamic artistic style, Lee is one of the most respected artists in the comic industry. He started his comic book career at Marvel Comics, where his work on X-Men continues to hold his lifelong legacy.

Lee was also the artist for many of DC Comics’ bestselling books and graphic novels, including All-Star Batman and Robin, The Boy Wonder, Batman: Hush and Superman: For Tomorrow. Later on, he started his own production company, WildStorm Productions, and co-founded Image Comics, an independent comics company that quickly grew to become one of the industry’s largest publishers.

Two of Lee’s creations, Wildcats and Gen 13, respectively, became a CBS Saturday morning cartoon and a DTV animated movie distributed by Disney. Titan Books released a 300-page art book of Jim Lee’s DC Comics work titled Icons: The DC & WildStorm Art of Jim Lee.

“We are so thrilled to be hosting such an influential figure who has altered, shaped and impacted the comic book industry through his talent and creative work,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “We are so excited to announce this Private Signing and even more eager to see all of the amazing Remarques and Sketches that will be created during this event!”

In addition to Jim’s individual signing options, comic fans can also select a trio signing which includes signatures from Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair. Williams, a comic book artist and inker and Sinclair, a comic book colorist, are both known for their notable works with Jim on comics such as Batman: Hush, Superman, WildCATs, Infinite Crisis, Gen 13 and All-Star Batman and Robin to name a few.
