Career

Chris Claremont wrote a number of second-tier Marvel Comics titles before being assigned to take over Uncanny X-Men from Len Wein. Claremont's sixteen-year run on the book is a record for a writer on any American comic book.¹ In that time, he introduced a number of characters, developed existing ones, and helped make the X-Men one of Marvel's most popular franchises. Many elements of the three X-Men films can be traced to Claremont story arcs.

Claremont also worked for DC Comics, notably with his own Sovereign Seven series. He co-wrote, with George Lucas, a trilogy of novels based on the film Willow, and has contributed to George R. R. Martin's Wildcards anthology series.
