*Marvel: Following his debut in 1991’s New Mutants #98, Deadpool won his own mini-series in 1993. ‘The Circle Chase’ was written by ‘Pool’s co-creator Fabian Nicieza, and drawn by Joe Madureira, pitting the eponymous assassin against a battalion of mercenaries in Sarajevo, Yugoslavia, with Weapon X waiting in the wings. Although the full character of Deadpool as the movie audiences know him hadn’t yet evolved, this was the major breakthrough in Deadpool’s relentless rise to multimedia super-stardom. These are pence copies, averaging NM, sold as a four-issue set only.
