Chris Claremont has encountered more success than most writers ever dream of. His stories have achieved best-seller status, and won numerous awards. His initial unbroken 17 year run on Marvel Comics The Uncanny X-Men is the stuff of industry legend. His run culminated with the launch of the new title, X-Men, whose first issue sold over 7.6 million copies. It is a conservative estimate that Chris has sold in excess of 500,000,000 comics, world wide.  Chris is especially proud of his creator-owed work, which includes the historic fantasies The Black Dragon and Marada, the She-Wolf. His latest novel, X:Men: The Last Stand hit both the NY Times extended best seller list and the Publishers Weekly list, appearing at #8. Chris is currently at work on both comics and novels. In addition to his ongoing work on X-Men, forthcoming projects include the historic adventure series Wanderers in both graphic novel and prose formats.
