About the author

Claremont has written many stories for other publishers including the Star Trek Debt of Honor graphic novel, his creator-owned Sovereign Seven for DC Comics and Aliens vs Predator for Dark Horse Comics. He also wrote a few issues of the series WildC.A.T.s (volume 1, issues #10-13) at Image Comics, which introduced his creator-owned character, Huntsman.

Claremont was also a contributor to the Wild Cards anthology series.

Reviews

[Rick · Rating 5 out of 5]

Arthur Adams is one of a kind. He's got the detail and ultra fine line work of George Pérez, with slightly cartoony look and joyous fun of John Byrne, the cinematic flow of Steve Rude and the power of Jack Kirby. What's not to love?! And teamed up with writers like Walter Simonson and Chris Claremont? Yep this is a knockout collection.
