American Comics Update: Marvel #1: Wolverine Ongoing 1988
*Marvel: Bearing in mind Wolverine’s meteoric rise to popularity following his debut in Hulk and subsequent starring role in the X-Men, it’s perhaps surprising that it took until 1988 for him to get his own ongoing series. By Chris Clarement and John Buscema (with inks by my favourite comics artist Al Williamson), this is a lovely copy of #1, tight, flat and glossy, with excellent white pages, great staples and sharp square corners. One or two very fine irregularities at spine and bottom edge are barely noticeable and nothing breaks colour.
