American Update: Mighty Marvel Firsts: Debut of Weapon Alpha (later Vindicator) in X-Men #109
*Marvel: This is the first copy we’ve had in of X-Men #109 in quite a while; it features the debut of the man known here as Weapon Alpha (later to be renamed Vindicator as head of Alpha Flight, the Canadian super-hero group, the organization behind which is what Wolverine was fleeing from when he joined the X-Men). Now they want him back and they’ve sent Weapon Alpha to get him. As far as I know, this is the first comic in which Alpha Flight is mentioned, although it would be several issues later when they appeared in full. A lovely cents copy with just the tiniest wear at the corners and a couple of very small spine ticks. Great white pages, flat, tight and glossy, excellent staples.
