CGC Partners with ACE ASSIST and KLF Sports for an Exclusive Private Signing with Tessa Thompson

CGC is thrilled to team up with ACE ASSIST and KLF Sports to bring fans an exclusive Private Signing with Marvel Cinematic Universe star, Tessa Thompson. Fans know her as Valkyrie in Thor: Ragnarok, Avengers: Endgame and most recently Thor: Love and Thunder. She has also played leading roles in Men in Black: International, Annihilation and Creed. Thompson has signed exclusively with ACE and KLF, making this event the only place to get her signature! See pricing and details below!

Thompson has won both African-American Film Critics Association and New York Film Critics Online Awards and has been nominated for a Primetime Emmy as well as Critics Choice, NAACP, People’s Choice and Teen Choice Awards. In addition to the major franchise roles she’s known for, she’s also been a part of many critically acclaimed independent films including Sorry to Bother You, For Colored Girls, Little Woods, Sylvie’s Love and Passing. She has been in a handful of television series, most notably Veronica Mars and recently Westworld. Thompson is scheduled to release two new films later this year, The Listener and Creed III.

“ACE and KLF continue to offer top-notch signing opportunities with the film industry’s leading talent for comic book fans. Tessa Thompson is an incredible talent, and we’re thrilled to partner for this event,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. 

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, September 2, 2022.
