Dave Cockrum (November 11, 1943 – November 26, 2006) was an influential American comic book artist and character designer, best known for his work on Marvel Comics' X-Men and DC Comics' Legion of Super-Heroes. Born in Pendleton, Oregon, and a veteran of the U.S. Navy, Cockrum began his professional career in the 1970s, initially at DC Comics.

At DC, he worked on Legion of Super-Heroes, where he redesigned several characters and brought a modern, vibrant visual style. His talent for creating unique and memorable costumes quickly caught attention. He collaborated with writers like Cary Bates and E. Nelson Bridwell, leaving a strong mark on the team's aesthetics.

He later joined Marvel, where along with Len Wein and Chris Claremont, he revitalized the X-Men by creating new characters such as Nightcrawler, Storm, and Colossus. Cockrum was the principal designer of this new international team, which debuted in Giant-Size X-Men #1 (1975), starting a new era of success for the franchise.

Beyond his contributions as an artist, Cockrum was an advocate for creators' rights. His legacy endures in generations of readers and artists influenced by his imagination and innovative style.

Jim Shooter (born September 27, 1951) is an American writer, editor, and entrepreneur, widely recognized for his influential work in the comic book industry, especially as Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics during one of its most successful periods. Born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Shooter began working professionally at the age of 13, writing stories for Legion of Super-Heroes at DC Comics. His early talent led him to work with editors like Mort Weisinger and E. Nelson Bridwell, becoming a prominent figure in the 60s.

In 1978, he was named Editor-in-Chief of Marvel Comics. Under his leadership, the publisher experienced a period of expansion and creative stability, launching legendary titles like Secret Wars, Marvel's first major crossover saga. He was also responsible for implementing strict editorial policies that improved timeliness and narrative cohesion in comics, although his authoritarian style generated controversy among some creators.

Shooter also played a significant role in creating characters and series, and after leaving Marvel in 1987, he founded Valiant Comics in the 90s, another influential publisher. His entrepreneurial and narrative vision consolidates him as a key figure in the modern evolution of American comics.

During his career, Bates wrote numerous memorable stories for titles such as Action Comics, Superman, The Flash, and Legion of Super-Heroes. He co-created characters like Terra-Man and Vartox. His collaboration with E. Nelson Bridwell was significant, as they both shared a deep understanding of the DC universe and worked together on projects like Super Friends, a series inspired by the animated series of the same name, aimed at a younger audience but always consistent with DC mythology.

Buena calidad de impresión, el papel podría ser un poco mejor al tacto sin ser malo. Sobre el contenido: son un montón de historias clave de la Legión.
