As stated in X-Men and the Mutant Metaphor: Race and Gender in Comic Books “Claremont wrote every issue of the series between X-Men #94 (Aug. 1975) and The Uncanny X-Men #279 (Aug. 1991). These 185 issues are considered one of the most successful runs by a creator of any comic book series in terms of both financial success and quality creative output” (85) This is where you will find one of the most critically acclaimed and renowned comics in Claremont’s run X-Men: God Loves, Man Kills.
