CGC Announces Last In-House Private Signing Event with Comic Book Legend George Pérez

CGC is excited to announce that we will be hosting an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with the legendary comic book artist George Pérez! Many know him for his game changing, revolutionary work for Marvel and DC Comics. Only Signatures will be available due to Pérez’s health. In addition, CGC has created a custom George Pérez label exclusively for this signing. All of the proceeds from the label will go directly to Pérez and his estate. See pricing and more details below.

Pérez’s rise to fame started when he took over Marvel’s The Avengers in the 1970s. His artistic skills skyrocketed him to the stratosphere and led to him illustrating The New Teen Titans and the groundbreaking series Crisis on Infinite Earths (DC Comics). Then, during the 1980s, he played a major role in the Wonder Woman reboot and contributed to Superman.

In the 1990s, Pérez went back to Marvel and signed on to illustrate the epic limited series, The Infinity Gauntlet, which would inspire the box-office record shattering Marvel movies. Throughout his long and successful career, Pérez has continued to illustrate renditions of characters that fans will always hold dear and will remember forever.

“We are honored to have George Pérez join us for a very special In-House Private Signing event,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “Pérez has worked on some extremely important series, and his contributions to comics have cemented his legacy as one of the greats. The CGC Signature Series team is proud to offer this opportunity to connect him with his amazing fans!”

All proceeds generated from the custom labels will go to George and his estate. Click images to enlarge.

If the In-House Private Signing needs to be rescheduled, CGC will securely store all submissions in its vault until the event can be rescheduled.
