Len Wein
Len Wein was a Bronze Age writer and editor best known for co-creating Swamp Thing, Wolverine, and several All-New X-Men characters with key collaborators including Bernie Wrightson, Herb Trimpe, John Romita Sr., Roy Thomas, and Dave Cockrum, and for his role in shaping the early direction of the All-New, All-Different X-Men. His name is closely tied to first appearances, team redefinitions, and 1970s DC and Marvel keys that serve as durable reference points for collectors focused on character origins and Bronze Age storytelling shifts.
