Chris's initial unbroken 17 year run on Marvel Comics The Uncanny X-Men is the stuff of industry legend. During that tenure he took a lackluster title and transformed it into the dominant, best-selling title in the industry. His run culminated with the launch of the new title, X-Men, whose first issue sold over 7.6 million copies. No one has yet come close to breaking this record. It is a conservative estimate that Chris has sold in excess of 500,000,000 comics, world wide. Chris’s work on the X-men has brought resounding creative success as well as outstanding sales.

The Summer of 2000 saw the release of the feature film, X-Men, based largely on material created by Chris. The sequel, X-2, contains characters and key story elements from Chris’s best-selling graphic novel, God Loves, Man Kills. X-Men: The Last Stand, released in May 2006, is grounded in the Dark Phoenix saga. The movies have earned over a billion dollars, world-wide.

Chris is especially proud of his creator-owed work, which includes the historic fantasies The Black Dragon and Marada, the She-Wolf (artist: John Bolton), and the contemporary superhero series, Sovereign Seven. To date, Chris has written nine novels, including the science fiction series First Flight, Grounded!, and Sundowner, and the contemporary dark fantasy Dragon Moon.

Chris is currently at work on both comics and novels, and is a perennial best-seller across genres. New projects include the creator owned historic adventure series Wanderers with a first publication in France, as well as the Marvel series X-Men Forever — fans are thrilled! Chris is also hard at work on a prose novel, Wild Blood, an urban dark fantasy set in New York City.
