Returning to DC as an editor, Wein oversaw an influx of British   writing talent, highlighted by Alan Moore’s historic Watchmen miniseries. Wein also has   worked in television and animation, returning to his roots to develop a Swamp Thing screenplay. He has   written comic-book adaptations of The Simpsons and Futurama.As 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","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44269714931903,"sku":"9781302961800","price":53.53,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/87443519-2ce8-4d97-87c7-6fe72d8b033b.jpg?v=1748556369","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/giant-size-x-men-tribute-to-wein-cockrum","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
