Writer and editor Louise Simonson launched Power Pack and Web of
Spider-Man and wrote memorable runs on New Mutants and X-Factor -
helping map out the "Mutant Massacre," "Inferno" and "X-Tinction
Agenda" crossovers. Her major editorial credits include Star Wars
and Uncanny X-Men. At DC, she wrote multiple Superman titles and
became one of the main creative forces behind the "Death of
Superman" saga; her scripts also appeared in Detective Comics, New
Titans and more. She returned to Marvel to write the Galactus the
Devourer limited series and 1999-2000's Warlock, starring
characters from New Mutants.
Industry legend Chris Claremont is best known for his epic
sixteen-year run on Uncanny X-Men. Claremont's focus on the themes
of prejudice and tolerance struck at the hearts of comics fans, and
he built an unparalleled following during the next three decades.
Under his pen, the X-Men franchise spawned a vast array of
spin-offs, many of them written by Claremont himself. His other
credits include Iron Fist, Ms. Marvel, Power Man and Spider-Woman.
Claremont has returned to the X-Men universe in New Exiles, GeNext,
X-Men Forever, Chaos War- X-Men and Nightcrawler.
Terry Austin won Eagle, Inkpot and Comics Buyer's Guide Fan Awards
for ink work on Chris Claremont and John Byrne's legendary Uncanny
X-Men run. Elsewhere in the mutant franchise, he penciled New
Mutants and wrote occasional stories for various X-Men titles,
along with Cloak and Dagger. At DC, he reunited with John Byrne to
ink Superman; he also embellished Green Lantern, Justice League
America and 66 issues of Superman Adventures, and penciled half the
Camelot 3000 miniseries.
Two-time Emmy Award-winner Bret Blevins' early Marvel work included
adaptations of films such as The Dark Crystal, Krull and The Last
Starfighter. Moving into the Marvel Universe, he drew Strange
Tales' Cloak and Dagger feature, and penciled much of Louise
Simonson's New Mutants run. In 1996, he moved into TV animation,
storyboarding for Batman Beyond, Justice League and New
Batman/Superman Adventures. He now divides time between oil
painting and freelance storyboarding.
June Brigman helped launch Power Pack, and penciled the adventures
of Cloak and Dagger in both their own title and Strange Tales. Her
art appeared throughout Marvel's 1980s team titles - including
Alpha Flight, New Mutants and Uncanny X-Men. She penciled one of
DC's many Supergirl series, worked with Pack writer Louise Simonson
on Dark Horse's Star Wars- River of Chaos miniseries and served as
artist on long-running comic strip Brenda Starr. She has taught at
the Kubert School, as well as the Atlanta branch of the Savannah
College of Art and Design.
In addition to illustrating annuals for New Mutants, X-Factor and
X-Force, Terry Shoemaker helped conclude the "Heroes Reborn"
version of Iron Man and contributed to the armored Avenger's
subsequent relaunch. He also penciled Tales of the Legion of
Super-Heroes for DC, CyberRad for Continuity and Zealot for Image,
