Marvel: Chris Claremont Resting in NYC Marvel has issued a press release about the writer Chris Claremont resting back in the States after suffering from exhaustion overseas. One imagines the release is intended to squash any rumors that might come up as various, previously-announced comic book projects proceed without the 55-year-old. Claremont is most signficantly the writer who directed the X-Men books during the period from the late '70s until the early '90s when the mutant superheroes moved from mainstream comics also-rans to a top, in some aspects nearly dominant, superhero comics property.
