Classic X-Men
About the artist
John Bolton
John Bolton is a British illustrator celebrated for his painted, photo-referenced style and strong associations with horror and dark fantasy. He rose to prominence in the late 1970s with Marvel UK before contributing interior stories and covers for Classic X-Men, creating Marada the She-Wolf with Chris Claremont and illustrating Neil Gaiman’s The Books of Magic. His elegant figuration and chiaroscuro modelling have made him a favourite for collector-edition covers and portfolios.
About this series
X-Men
The X-Men, created in 1963 by Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, became a cultural phenomenon through Chris Claremont's seventeen-year writing tenure alongside artists including John Byrne, Dave Cockrum, Paul Smith and Marc Silvestri. Subsequent generations — Grant Morrison with Frank Quitely and Ethan Van Sciver, Jonathan Hickman's Krakoan era — have made the franchise one of the longest-running experimental projects in mainstream American comics.
