TITAN BOOKS TO REVEAL X-PLOSIVE BEHIND-THE-SCENES HISTORY OF THE X-MEN

Mutant mania is at an all-time high with the X-Men’s eagerly anticipated return to the big screen in May 2006 with X-Men 3, starring Patrick Stewart, Halle Berry, Hugh Jackman, and Ian McKellan!

Titan Books, the leading publisher of books on film, TV, and popular culture, is pleased to announce the acquisition of the worldwide license for an in-depth history of the mighty mutants in comics. Comics Creators on X-Men (May 2006; 1-84576-173-1) by industry insider Tom DeFalco will offer a definitive analysis of the X-Men’s comics career, featuring interviews with every major talent involved, including original co-creator Stan Lee, fan-favorite Chris Claremont, superstar artists John Byrne and Alan Davis, as well as recent writers Grant Morrison and Mark Millar.

Packed with exclusive sketches, script pages, rare and classic covers, and essential background information on the X-Men’s labyrinthine history and vast cast of characters, this book promises to be the kind of resource no X-Men or comics fan can do without.

For the uninitiated, the X-Men characters exist in a futuristic version of our current world, a near future in which humanity feels threatened by the grave challenge of mutation. Gifted with an array of incredible powers, they have fought to break down the barriers of fear and hate between human-kind and mutant-kind for over fifty years (and in three blockbuster films!).

The title expands Titan’s popular Comics Creators series by DeFalco, which already includes Comics Creators on Spider-man and Comics Creators on Fantastic Four.
