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.
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 giant Marc Silvestri entered the upper echelon of comics
innovators in the late '80s during fan-favorite, record-breaking
runs on Uncanny X-Men and Wolverine. Silvestri left Marvel in 1992
to co-found Image Comics; his imprint, Top Cow, is one of its four
longstanding autonomous studios. At Image, Silvestri created some
of today's most popular properties - including Cyberforce,
Witchblade, Weapon Zero and The Darkness. Silvestri has returned to
the world of Marvel's mutants on New X-Men and X-Men- Messiah
Complex.
After achieving industry acclaim for DC's award-winning "Manhunter"
feature in Detective Comics, Walter Simonson moved to Marvel where
he introduced multiple characters and concepts from both myth and
outer space during his revered run scripting and penciling Thor. He
collaborated with his wife, Louise, on both X-Factor and
Wildstorm's World of Warcraft, later returning to Marvel to
illustrate Brian Michael Bendis' Avengers.
Since his beginnings with Ann Nocenti in Longshot (which earned him
a Russ Manning Award), Arthur Adams has most often displayed his
distinctive and detail-intensive art in miniseries or one-shots
(including several Uncanny X-Men Annuals) - along with brief but
memorable stints on Fantastic Four, X-Factor and other titles. He
co-created "Jonni Future" for Alan Moore's Tom Strong's Terrific
Tales, and Dark Horse Comics has published his creator-owned
Monkeyman and O'Brien. Renowned for cover art at Marvel, DC and
elsewhere, Adams has also illustrated trading cards, posters and
shirts, among other products; his art can be found in toy design,
film advertisements and a series of X-Men-themed Campbell Soup
labels. Jeph Loeb's Hulk series featured a string of issues in
which Adams provided interior art.
