Description: Wolverine #1 1982 Bronze Age Estimated at VF+ or possibly Better ConditionSee pictures as part of description. I am not a professional grader but take great pride in doing my best so please examine the photos carefully & determine the grade yourself. I use the Overstreet guide to give my best guesstimate. All of my comics are sold below their value on Overstreet Comic Pricing Guide unless signed, sketched, or graded Issue #1 September 19821st solo Wolverine comic1st cameo appearance of Yukio (Although she is unnamed in this issue, she is woman at the end that saves Wolverine)1st appearances of Lord Shingen (Shingen Harada), Asano Kimura, Noburo Hideki, & Yukio. 1st use of the phrase "I'm the best there is at what I do" "I'm Wolverine" Wolverine hunts for a bear in the Canadian Rockies which had an arrow stuck in its back, making it turn crazy and kill at least fifteen people. With the bear taken care of, Wolverine tracks the scent of the arrow back to its tracker and puts him on trial. Wolverine tries calling Mariko Yashida, but her families hangs up on him. Wolverine flies to the Yashida Ancestral Stronghold in Japan and finds Mariko in the gardens beneath a statue of Buddha, concealing her face. At Wolverine's insistence, she reveals her bruised face, which Wolverine deduces came from her husband, Noburu-Hideki. Mariko explains that she had to change commitments upon her father's return. Mariko's husband shows up and Wolverine intends upon killing him until Mariko averts the bloodshed. Wolverine prepares to fly to New York, but he gets ambushed by poisoned shuriken. Wolverine wakes up to find himself in the captivity of Lord Shingen, who challenges Wolverine to a duel with him to prove his worthiness to Mariko. They fight with wooden swords, and Lord Shingen cheats during the battle by kicking Wolverine, who retaliates by withdrawing his claws. Due to his recent poisoning, though, Wolverine has trouble making contact with the elder, who ultimately wins the battle. Wolverine finds himself abandoned in Tokyo surrounded by a mob. Yukio kills them all and picks Wolverine off the ground. NOTE: Wolverine says that he knows who his father is, but the father that Wolverine refers to is most likely a false memory. Wolverine's father is finally seen in the "Wolverine: Origin" miniseries. All comics are bagged & boarded kept in air conditioned smoke free home. Packed very carefully with protection.
