Andrew Deman\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eChris Claremont (b. 1950) is best known for his landmark sixteen-year author run on \u003ci\u003eUncanny X-Men\u003c\/i\u003e. This is the longest author run in Marvel Comics history, one that saw \u003ci\u003eX-Men\u003c\/i\u003e go from a title on the verge of cancellation to one of the most popular comics for 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 of inspiration 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 shaped. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The story of Chris Claremont is the story of a creator who achieved popular success whilst making significant artistic contributions 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, notable BDSM imagery, the first superhero team with a strong female roster, and the best-selling single-issue comic of all time. This volume celebrates an extraordinary career and marvels at how Claremont accomplished all of this within mainstream comics.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eJ.
