Webpage about Chris Claremont's work on the X-Men
December 15, 2014 8:27 PM Subscribe
I'm looking for a webpage or series of webpages that detail Chris Claremont's original tenure on the X-Men books back in the 70s and 80s. Examined were his style of writing with serialized character-driven stories such as the Dark Phoenix Saga and the Shi'ar Empire, etc. More about the website itself inside.
The website itself was written in a typeface like Courier, with perfectly aligned paragraphs. I don't remember if the webpages were a part of a total look at the X-Men or Marvel in general, but I do think that the Chris Claremont section was part of a larger whole. I saw this website in the last ten years, so it may still be around.
I've done all the standard things like Google and haven't been able to find the needle in the haystack, so I'm hoping that someone will have seen it and remembers the URL. Long shot, I know. Thanks for the help.

Might it be this blog, which humorously documents Claremont's obsession with mind control?

Your description of the webpage layout sounds a bit like The X-Axis, which I found mentioned in the FAQ to Rachel and Miles X-Plain the X-Men. But the archive of the X-Axis don't cover what you're looking for--KingEdRa's suggestion seems closer. Commentaries on Claremont's X-Men at The M0vie Blog and Gentlemen of Leisure also seem fairly extensive.

Response by poster: Thanks to everyone for the links so far. None of those are what I remember.
A bit more information: The Courier typeface and the perfectly aligned paragraphs make me think it came from Usenet. Something that was linked to and accessible as txt or simply copied and pasted into hypertext. Maybe that will help.
Thanks for all the great links.
