When you think of the giants of the comic book industry, its inevitable that Chris Claremont will be at the top of the list. He joined the Marvel Comics Bullpen in the early 70's and went on to pen some of the greatest stories in comics. Besides his classic work on Iron Fist, New Mutants, Batman, Fantastic Four and others, he basically elevated the rebooted X-Men team to the most popular in comics. Many of the X-Men and Wolverine movies are based on his stories.
Two weeks ago in December, Grown Ass Men sat down via phone with Chris for an interview. Amazingly, he has a near perfect memory about everything! We chat early influences, his start at Marvel, what he's up to now and, of course, the Uncanny X-Men. Don't miss it!
Happy holidays and thanks for listening fans! We'll catch you in 2017!
