A Vietnam veteran who wrote Wolverine as a soldier rather than as a berserker, and gave him the origin every version since has used.

The artist who drew the X-Men at their darkest, right before he left to help invent the 1990s. Four crossover omnibus and the run that made his name.
Second-generation draughtsman, thirty years at the top, and the artist Marvel calls when a fight has to look like it hurts.
He co-created Deadpool and then spent a decade holding the 1990s X-Men line together. The shelf where the most-searched character in this catalogue actually begins.
The last mainstream creator who regularly did both jobs at once, and the clearest storyteller of his generation. Four books on this shelf are entirely his.
Ideas first, everything else second. The most demanding shelf in this catalogue and the one that repays rereading more than any other.
The event that erased most of the mutant population in one sentence, and the shelf where buyers most often end up with the companion instead of the book.
The most stylised artist working in mainstream superhero comics, and the one whose pages you either study or give up on. There is no middle position.
The writer who worked out what superhero films would look like before they existed, and wrote the comics as if they already did.
Southern crime writer, mythic register. The longest modern Thor run sits on this shelf next to some of the ugliest Wolverine ever printed, and both are him.
The architect. Runs designed backwards from an ending, told in systems and data pages rather than fights. The shelf that rewards patience more than any other here.
The X-Men shelf punishes guessing more than any other: sixty years of crossovers, relaunches and eras that assume you were there. Seven picks, by what you want.
Every run we cover is available at our store in the best omnibus edition whenever possible.
