CGC Looks Forward to Hosting DC Comics Artist Rags Morales at an In-House Private Signing

Posted on 10/8/2020

Super-hero fans — CGC and Eva Ink Artist Group are delighted to share that Rags Morales is coming to CGC headquarters for an In-House Private Signing! Morales’ first super-hero series for DC was the Black Condor. Since then, he has worked on most major DC heroes, including JSA, Hawkman, Wonder Woman and Batman: Confidential. Morales also illustrated the best-selling graphic novel Identity Crisis.

In addition to signing books, Morales is also offering Remarques and sketch covers on a first-come, first-serve basis. Morales Remarque example below.

“I’m selfish. I am already used to being at home and not really getting out; as a freelancer, that’s part and parcel, but I miss the interaction.” Morales commented, “I miss telling stories and meeting the people on my social media face to face; reacquainting with some who have become regular friends at shows. I miss seeing how important our work has become.”

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

After Morales signs the collectibles, CGC will grade them with expedited turnaround times of three weeks for grading or six weeks for grading and pressing. Collectibles are then shipped back to their owners.
