It was during his Transformers days that he fashioned the bounty hunter Death's Head, his most famous creation. Furman's other Marvel credits include Alpha Flight, What If? and \"Death's Head 3.0\" for Amazing Fantasy. He has also written Doctor Who, Judge Dredd and RoboCop. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe Marvel Preview series \"The Sword and The Star\" was not only Rocket Raccoon's first appearance, but \u003cb\u003eKeith Giffen'\u003c\/b\u003es first published work. He moved into more mainstream titles with Defenders, penciling the adventures of the infamous non-team during some of its most nontraditional storylines. It was at DC, however, that he achieved his greatest recognition with creations Ambush Bug, an irreverent wannabe hero who tackled the comics industry itself, and alien mercenary Lobo, who was meant as an indictment of the violent vigilante genre, but became its most extreme success story. In addition to famed stints on Legion of Super-Heroes and Justice League, he also wrote X-O Manowar and Magnus, Robot Fighter for Valiant Comics, and adapted mangas Battle Royale and Ikki Tousen into English. He has played a vital role in cosmic crossovers at both Marvel and DC, writing Annihilation tie-ins for the former, and penciling 52 and Countdown to Final Crisis for the latter. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eChristos Gage\u003c\/b\u003e sold his first screenplay in 1997 and has been working steadily ever since; he started writing comics in 2004 with DC's Deadshot miniseries, featuring the sharpshooting antihero from Suicide Squad.

His additional Marvel credits include Civil War: Casualties of War, House of M: Avengers, Iron Man, Union Jack and World War Hulk: X-Men, as well as a prominent run on X-Men: Legacy. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBorn in Uruguay and raised from the age of 10 in Argentina, artist \u003cb\u003eJorge Lucas\u003c\/b\u003e found fame in the United States with Marvel credits including Black Panther, Incredible Hulk, Mystique, Starjammers, Wolverine: X-Isle, X-Force and X-Men: Colossus -- Bloodline.
