 LEN WEIN and artist Berni Wrightson created the horror comic Swamp Thing for DC Comics. Wein worked at Marvel as a writer/editor. He had lengthy and memorable runs on Amazing Spider-Man, Hulk, Thor and Fantastic Four. However, he is probably best-known for co-creating, in 1975, the New X-Men team that would eventually become the biggest-selling comic title. Wein had a strong hand in the creation of such characters as Nightcrawler, Storm, Colossus and Wolverine (who had made his debut in Wein's run on Hulk). In recent years, Wein has devoted more of his time writing for animation and TV, including an intriguing work called Gene Pool (with Marv Wolfman).
