Tom Orzechowski
Tom Orzechowski is a comics letterer and logo designer best known for his work on Uncanny X-Men and other Chris Claremont-era mutant titles, where his dense captions, distinctive sound effects, and page lettering became closely associated with the series' voice. His name is often associated with Bronze and early Copper Age X-Men keys, and his lettering serves as a reference point for collectors who track complete creative teams on character-defining runs.
