Frank Miller cover/art; 1st solo Wolverine title; 1st cameo app of Yukio; 1st use of the phrase "I'm the best there is at what I do"; Comic Book Impact rating of 8 (CBI)
Highest Graded


Wolverine quickly became the break-out star of the revamped X-Men back in the 1970s. Marvel still took their time in making his inevitable solo debut a true event. Fans were already excited to see beloved X-Men scribe Chris Claremont scripting the spin-off. Marvel then announced Frank Miller was joining the book as penciller and co-plotter in the midst of his own run as the creative force behind a revitalized Daredevil.

This acclaimed first issue includes the 1st appearance of female ninja Yukio, as well as Logan's 1st utterance of, "I'm the best there is at what I do..." The book also sent Wolverine to Japan for a modern-day noir that further liberated the hero from traditional superhero settings. The character would continue an offbeat path that would later make Wolverine the inevitable face of serious super-hero cinema.



Collectors knew the first issue of Wolverine's long-awaited solo debut would be a hot investment. This stunning 10.0 edition is still only one of four books able to top the CGC Census. In fact, few fans could find a copy this pristine when the limited series first hit the stores in 1982. ComicConnect is proud to present one of these cherished top-tier rarities that seldom come up for auction.
