CLAREMONT, Chris

CLAREMONT, Chris
   Working name of US writer Christopher Simon Claremont (1950-). He first became known through his revitalization from 1975 of MARVEL COMICS's X-MEN, a title which had been temporarily retired but now became the bestselling comic in the field; CC scripted the title until he left Marvel in 1993 to begin work with Dark Horse comics. The series deals with a constantly expanding group of mutant SUPERHEROES, several female, whose relationships and conflicts are densely complicated, and who inspire sympathy both because they are adolescents with typical family problems and because society tends to reject them. CC's style, though consistent with the Marvel Group's experimental house-style, is often rather clumsy, and manifestly represents an earlier phase in the rapid evolution of the comic book than that of GRAPHIC-NOVEL writers like Frank MILLER and Alan MOORE. God Loves, Man Kills (graph 1982) was an original tale; The Uncanny X-Men (graph 1987) was assembled from the comic. The three Nicole Shea novels - FirstFlight (1987), Grounded! (1991; vt Grounded 1991 UK) - cover much of the same emotional and stylistic territory, tracing the adventures of a NASA astronaut in a NEAR FUTURE Solar System.

   Other works: As with many writers and illustrators involved in the fast-moving and hectic world of comics publishing, CC's bibliography is anything but easy to fix; the following titles have been confirmed: Wolverine (1985; graph coll 1988) with Frank MILLER; The Savage Land (graph 1990); and various X-Men graphic presentations, including X-Men: Asgardian Wars (graph 1990); X-Men: From the Ashes (graph 1990); Dragon Moon (1994) with Beth Fleisher, a fantasy.
