1st cameo app of Wolverine (last page); Wendigo app., Herb Trimpe cover & art; COMIC BOOK IMPACT rating of 9 (CBI)
Jon Berk CollectionHe's tucked away on the final page in a small cliffhanger panel, but there it is: the first appearance of the Wolverine. The character would later be declared a mutant and sent on to stardom with the X-Men as part of Wolverine's travels to become the first true superstar of the Bronze Age of comics. Wolverine went on to even more fame in the 21st Century as the X-Men franchise launched the modern age of hit superman movies.
This timeless book will certainly see boosts in price as Marvel Studios begins to announce new projects featuring the company's reclaimed X-Men rights. (Fans area also anticipating Hugh Jackman's return as Wolverine in the upcoming Deadpool 3.) There's no reason not to invest in a copy of this Bronze Age key before the next inevitable rise in value.
Artists Information
Jack Abel was an American comic book artist best known as an inker for leading publishers DC Comics and Marvel Comics. He was DC's primary inker on the Superman titles in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and inked penciler Herb Trimpe's introduction of the popular superhero Wolverine in The Incredible Hulk #181. He sometimes used the pseudonym Gary Michaels.
Herb Trimpe was an American comics artist and occasional writer, best known as the seminal 1970s artist on The Incredible Hulk and as the first artist to draw for publication the character Wolverine, who later became a breakout star of the X-Men. During his career he would draw nearly every character in the Marvel stable, and a few that weren't including memorable work he provided for Marvel's 1980's licensed titles for Godzilla, Shogun Warriors and The Transformers.
John Romita was one of the driving forces behind Marvel's Silver Age, he took up the reins on Spider-Man following the departure of Steve Ditko with issue #38. Romita's run on Spider-Man would be long and significant, introducing characters including Mary Jane Watson, the Kingpin and many others. He would be a major contributor to the entire Marvel line throughout the 1970s including designing the look of The Punisher.
