Christopher S. Claremont is an American author and comic book writer born in London, England on November 25th, 1950. He is best known for his groundbreaking and longstanding work on the comic book series Uncanny X-Men for Marvel Comics, as well as several of it's spin-off titles. Considered by many to be "the" definitive X-Men scribe, Claremont's work on the series spans seventeen years, longer than any other single writer to have worked on the series to date. His first work on the series was Uncanny X-Men #94, which was the first regular issue of the series to feature the "All-New, All Different" X-Men following their debut in Giant-Size X-Men #1.
