The COMPTEL experiment on the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory (CGRO) has observed the Cygnus region on several occasions since its launch in 1991. These data represent the most sensitive observations to date of Cyg X-1 in the 0.75-30 MeV range. Here we report on the results of an analysis of selected COMPTEL data collected during the first three years of the CGRO mission. The integrated spectrum shows significant evidence for emission extending out to several MeV. These data are compared with contemporaneous data from both BATSE and OSSE.
