American Update: A Double Dose of Wolverine – 1982 and 1988 Premier Issues
*Marvel: By 1982, Wolverine’s status as the breakout star of the ‘New’ X-Men had become evident, and an A-List team of Chris Claremont, Frank Miller and Josef Rubinstein was assembled to give him a solo spotlight in a four-issue mini which saw Logan return to Japan. A few years later, he was awarded an ongoing series in 1988, from Claremont and John Buscema, kicking off the whole subplot with him being a crime-lord in Madripoor (in his copious spare time, between being a member of every Marvel team ever!). We’re chuffed to have both his debut issues from the 1980s back in stock; the 1982 #1 is FN/VF p £45, and the 1988 #1 is VF p £30.
