“At Last — In His Own Monthly Series!”
Condition: pre-owned, light wear, good shape
The landmark first issue of Wolverine’s own ongoing monthly series — faithfully reproduced in this facsimile edition! One of the most powerful and iconic covers in Marvel history — a masterclass in dark, atmospheric hero composition. The scene: a cold, desaturated nighttime setting — a pale white-grey full moon hangs at the upper left behind dark bare tree branches. Wolverine stands alone at the centre of the frame — elevated on a low rise — looking down at the viewer — his body a wall of raw coiled muscle. He is in his classic blue and yellow costume — the blue cowl with pointed ears — yellow chest and arms — the iconic yellow mask framing his fierce grimacing face — both arms slightly raised and extended outward at his sides — three gleaming adamantium claws deployed from each hand — the blades catching the cold moonlight and sparking at the tips. Sprawled across the ground at his feet and behind him: a mass of defeated goons — six or more figures in grey and dark coats — crumpled, unconscious, and disarmed — weapons scattered. A single gunman at the lower left attempts to raise a rifle. The entire scene rendered in cool greys and deep shadow with precise, expressive linework. WOLVERINE in massive white-outlined magenta block lettering blazes across the upper half of the cover. AT LAST — IN HIS OWN MONTHLY SERIES! in the banner at the very top. Marvel logo at the lower right. CCA stamp at the upper left.
An essential for Wolverine run collectors, Wolverine origin fans, and classic Marvel solo series completists. The facsimile edition faithfully reproduces this landmark first issue. Light wear, good shape.
