Claremont.   The doc is titled "Comics In Focus – Chris Claremont's X-Men" and is the first film to focus on the X-Writer, noted for his 17-year (!) run on the family of X-Men titles.  What followed was a compelling portrait of a Marvel writer in the mid- to-late 70s, as concerned with crafting thought-provoking stories with[...]
