CGC Announces In-House Private Signing Event with Comic Book Artist Geof Isherwood
Posted on 2/24/2022
CGC is thrilled to team up with Eva Ink to bring fans an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with comic book artist Geof Isherwood! Isherwood did work for Marvel and DC Comics early in his career and now teaches drawing at Algonquin College in Ottawa, Ontario. In addition to signing, he will be offering Remarques and Sketches for purchase. See pricing and details below.
Isherwood is best known for his work at Marvel on characters like Thor, Doctor Strange and Conan the Barbarian. Some series he has worked on include Thor: Sunlight & Shadows, Avengers: Citizen Kang, X-51, Peter Parker: Spider-Man and The Amazing Spider-Man. Although his time illustrating comics was short, the work he created was high calibur. After working on comics, he became a storyboard artist in the film industry and is currently an art professor.
“The CGC Signature Series team and I look forward to hosting Geof Isherwood for this Private Signing event,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “He has done stunning work during his time working in the comic industry, and it’s truly wonderful that he is teaching comic book illustration to new generations of artists!”
For this exclusive event, ALL CGC members, including free CGC members, can submit books directly to CGC headquarters in Sarasota, Florida. CGC must receive all submissions for this event by Friday, April 22, 2022.
If the Private Signing needs to be rescheduled, CGC will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be rescheduled.
