*The world's deadliest mutant, Wolverine has been called the best there is at what he does; now, the best of the best Wolverine stories ever told are collected in one deluxe hardcover!
With his adamantium claws and preternatural healing abilities, Wolverine is one of the world's deadliest mutants. Standing with the X-Men and in his solo adventures, the man known only as Logan has never backed down from a fight. Now, for the very first time, Marvel Comics collects a cream-of-the-crop selection of stories from Wolverine's thirty-year history:
Incredible Hulk #181: Wolverine's debut was not in the pages of X-Men, but as an opponent for the Incredible Hulk. In this historic issue by Len Wein and Herb Trimpe, Wolverine takes on the Green Goliath in a ferocious battle.
The original Wolverine miniseries: Writer Chris Claremont teams with artist Frank Miller to deliver the first-ever Wolverine solo tale. Logan's fight to win back his long-lost love Mariko brings him to Japan, where he must face off against an army of ninja assassins. Packed with realistic martial arts-inspired action and intrigue, this is the landmark story that vaulted Wolverine to fan-favorite status.
Weapon X: Barry Windsor-Smith peels away a layer of Wolverine's mysterious origins to reveal how a sadistic science experiment left Logan with his famed unbreakable adamantium skeleton. As he battles back against this torturous experience, Wolverine proves himself to be a true hero long before his days as an X-Man.
Uncanny X-Men #205: Hunted by Lady Deathstrike, a woman from his past, Wolverine must overcome his savage instincts to retain the human portion of his mind and osul in this landmark issue by Claremont and Windsor-Smith.
Captain America Annual #8: Wolverine and Captain America, star-spangled Sentinel of Liberty, go head-to-head in the ultimate battle between two of Marvel's greatest heroes by Mark Gruenwald and Mike Zeck.
Whether you're a longtime comic-book fan, or a new convert from Wolverine's unforgettable appearances in the X-Men motion pictures, The Best of Wolverine is an invaluable resource for any bookshelf! And that's a fact, bub! *Source: Dust Jacket
