CGC Announces In-House Private Signing Event with Comic Book Artist Jon Bogdanove

CGC is thrilled to announce an exclusive In-House Private Signing event with comic book artist Jon Bogdanove, in conjunction with Eva Ink Artist Group! Bogdanove began his comics career with Marvel Comics and later went on to work for DC Comics. In 2013 he received an Inkpot Award for his valuable contributions to the comics genre. In addition to signing, Bogdanove will be offering Remarques and Sketches for purchase. See pricing and details below.

At Marvel, Bogdanove’s first gig was working on Alpha Flight. The success from that series led to a four-year long run on the series Power Pack. While working for Marvel, he also contributed to series like Fantastic Four vs. the X-Men, New Mutants and X-Factor. Once at DC Comics, Bogdanove helped launch Superman: The Man of Steel, an all-new series which he worked on for over seven years. He played a major role in the creation of The Death of Superman story and co-created the character Steel, who became a standout character in the Superman Universe.

“The CGC Signature Series team and I are excited to host Jon Bogdanove for this Private Signing Event,” said Brittany McManus, CGC Signature Series Director. “His work on Superman is inspiring, and we can't wait to see his Remarques and Sketches!”
