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.Journalist,   editor, filmmaker and more, Ann Nocenti has a long history in comics, both as a writer and editor. As   an editor at Marvel, she oversaw such titles as New   Mutants and Uncanny   X-Men. As a writer, she has worked for both Marvel   (Longshot, Spectacular Spider-Man, Wolverine) and DC (Batman, Kid   Eternity), but is probably best known for her   groundbreaking run with John Romita Jr. on Daredevil.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.John   Romita Jr. is a modern-day comic-art master, following in   his legendary father’s footsteps. Timeless runs on Iron   Man, Uncanny X-Men, Amazing Spider-Man and Daredevil established him as his own man artistically, and his work on Wolverine and World War Hulk is among the most   explosive comic art of the 21st century. In addition to Eternals with writer Neil Gaiman,   JRJR teamed with Mark Millar on the creator-owned Kick-Ass, later developed into a blockbuster feature film starring   Nicolas Cage. Spidey fans rejoiced at the artist’s return to Amazing Spider-Man with the “Brand   New Day” storylines “New Ways To Die” and “Character Assassination.” He later   helped relaunch Avengers with   writer Brian Michael Bendis and Captain America with Rick Remender, and contributed to the blockbuster   crossover Avengers vs. X-Men. For DC Comics, he has drawn big-name characters such as   Superman, Batman and the Suicide Squad.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.Barry   Windsor-Smith — best known for Marvel’s Conan and Red   Sonja — also illustrated memorable Uncanny X-Men, Iron Man and Daredevil stories; he revealed   Wolverine’s origin in the “Weapon X” serial. Windsor-Smith has also published several art books in   the tradition of Dante Gabriel Rossetti.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Marvel","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43590904512703,"sku":"9781302948719","price":292.5,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0614\/1689\/8751\/files\/9781302948719.jpg?v=1722859684","url":"https:\/\/popweasel.co.nz\/products\/the-uncanny-x-men-omnibus-vol-5-hardcover","provider":"Pop Weasel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
