Klappentext

Explore the Stories Behind the Legends

Naked, bloody, and screaming in pain - this is the Wolverine that faced readers in the story arc Weapon X . This was more than just the tale of how Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton and claws. Legendary creator Barry Windsor-Smith challenged readers' expectations of super hero stories and created Marvel's most brutal and beautiful comic.

In 1991, when Weapon X was first published, Wolverine was one of Marvel's most popular super heroes. For Weapon X , creator Windsor-Smith reimagined the super hero origin story as a postmodern cyberpunk horror story. A shadowy organization abducts Wolverine in order to create "the ultimate killing machine," and we are plunged into a story of basic, animalistic survival. As Wolverine endures more and more trauma, the lines between reality and consciousness disappear.

Illustrated with full-color art from this legendary storyline, Jim Rugg's entry inThe Marvel Age of Comics takes a deep-dive into one of Marvel's most experimental and singular comics, and what many consider to be the definitive Wolverine story.
