Synopsis "Chris Claremont"

Provides an impressive career and marvels at how Chris Claremont (b. 1950) accomplished all of this within mainstream comics. While Claremont’s influence is becoming more widely recognized, this volume offers an in-depth exploration behind his iconic characters and storylines.

"Chris Claremont (b. 1950) is best known for his landmark sixteen-year author run on Uncanny X-Men. This is the longest author run in Marvel comics history, one that saw X-Men go from a title on the verge of cancellation to one of the most popular comicsfor over a decade and, eventually, a multibillion-dollar film franchise. While Claremont''s influence on popular culture is becoming more widely recognized, this volume offers an in-depth exploration of how his life shaped his work and the deep sources ofinspiration behind his iconic characters and storylines. From Britain to Israel to the New York demimonde, Claremont''s relationships, education, upbringing, collaborations, and faith all contribute to his voice and to the creations that he wrought with it. The story of Chris Claremont is the story of a creator who achieved popular success whilst making a significant artistic contribution to his chosen medium, including the first African American superheroine, the first Black superhero team leader, the first canonically Jewish Marvel superhero, extensive queer subtext, extensive BDSM imagery, the first superhero team with a strong female roster, and the best-selling single-issue comic of all time. This volume heralds an impressive career and marvels at how Claremont accomplished all of this within mainstream comics"-- Provided by publisher.
