Collecting UNCANNY X-MEN (1981) #150, WOLVERINE: FIRST CLASS #2, X-FACTOR (1986) #24 and X-MEN\/SPIDER-MAN #4.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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFred   Van Lente has been a comics fan as long as he can   remember, initially hooked by his father’s copy of Jules Feiffer’s landmark   anthology The Great Comic Book Heroes. Van Lente joined Syracuse University’s comic-book club and   met artist Steve Ellis, with whom he created indie super-crime comic The Silencers. That work got noticed   by Marvel, where Van Lente was soon hired and introduced a heroic new   Scorpion in Amazing Fantasy. Since then, the versatile Van Lente’s many Marvel assignments   have included three New York Times-best-selling entries in the Marvel   Zombies series, as well as Amazing Spider-Man, Incredible Hercules, X-Men Noir,   Iron Man Legacy, Chaos   War, Herc and Alpha Flight.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a   boy, artist Dave Cockrum   (1943-2006) dreamed of working in the comic-book industry; after a six-year   stint in the Navy, he headed straight for the big time. With a natural talent   for illustrating super heroes, Cockrum landed a gig on Legion of Super-Heroes for DC   Comics. Soon after his debut, Cockrum showcased his knack for innovative   costume designs, becoming the first artist to revamp the look of the classic   futuristic super-hero team since its original Silver Age debut. After leaving   Legion in 1975, Cockrum   collaborated with writer Len Wein to create a new lineup of X-Men – including   Wolverine, Nightcrawler and Colossus. Cockrum’s bold new mutants quickly   caught the attention of comic-book fans, transforming X-Men into a best-selling title.   Although Cockrum has reduced his artistic output in recent years, his strong   influence on modern creators remains steadfast – as evidenced by the release   of The Uncanny Cockrum Tribute Book in 2004, boasting contributions from more than 75 notable   writers and artists. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAfter   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.","brand":"Outreach\/New Reader","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46300565078245,"sku":"NP9781302953218","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1842\/7735\/files\/9781302953218.jpg?v=1742920478","url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/es\/products\/x-men-x-verse-x-villains-isbn-9781302953218","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
