Wolverine: Original Recipe

[schmevil.insanejournal.com]

Six pages from Wolverine #1. Not the Miller mini, but the Claremont/Buscema ongoing.

Logan's tracking down an old friend. The search leads him to a pirate hideout. Commence introductory monologue whilst kicking pirate booty.













Wolverine feels pain? He uses his claws with restraint!? What is this malarky?

I insist that somebody through this man into the sun, this very instant, in order to prove that he is actually Wolverine.

...and so it was proven, the law of inverse ninjutsu also applies to the ninja's seafaring rivals.

OH GOD WOLVERINE'S FACE IN THE FIRST PANEL.

IT WILL HAUNT MY NIGHTMARES FOR INFINITY TIMES FOREVER.

AND I WAS JUST ABOUT TO GO TO BED, TOO!

[schmevil.insanejournal.com]

That was my initial reaction too. *g* It's how I knew these scans had to be shared.

I love the torn-up-pantyhose-mask that he's wearing. It's somewhat less useful than any domino mask ever.

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

His face?!

LOOK AT THOSE SIDEBURNS!

[schmevil.insanejournal.com]

THEY'RE COMING FOR YOU!

[foxhack.insanejournal.com]

He looks like someone taped a Starro to the back of his head and painted it black!

Zany crossover time?

[sandoz_iscariot.insanejournal.com]

I love all that shoulder hair Wolverine's sportin'.

[schmevil.insanejournal.com]

Well, this was back in the era of ugly!Logan. Shoulder hair goes a long way towards establishing fug.

Not for everyone, it doesn't.

(Come to daddy, you hairy little man!)

Insider info: He's actually not wearing a shirt.

I've always noticed that Logan never says exactly what it his he does that he's the best of. Is it killing? Making witty quips in his head? Not dying? Giving back story while slaughtering people? Scaring small children by smiling at them?

What?

(I love you Logan, I really do, but really.)

[darkblade.insanejournal.com]

What he's good at is not explaining his catchphrase.

(Love your icon by the way.)

[autolychus2.insanejournal.com]

Well, we know it's "not pretty", so I imagine that Bathing Suit Modeling is right out.

[nezchan.insanejournal.com]

He actually only wrote that much of it and had to pick up the phone. Never actually got around to writing the rest.

The winner is you! <3

I think that he has a better sense of smell than Daredevil, because he uses his a lot more, and it's not very nice because... well, you can just imagine; Logan lives in a world where everyone's deodorant has failed, forever.

Second page, last panel

It's Hawk-Wolverine!

[schmevil.insanejournal.com]

Well that's a horrifying thought.

[brandiweed.livejournal.com (from insanejournal.com)]

I remember when this issue came out. I got the weird feeling that Claremont was moving down his Wolverine Catch Phrase Checklist, checking them off one by one.

[panthyr.insanejournal.com]

My kind'a internal monologue, my kind'a cliches.

[sherkahn.insanejournal.com]

Aaaaa, the good old days, when he was a sawed off runt with an attitude and ferocity incarnate.

[tacobob.insanejournal.com]

Nobody wants your hide Wolverine.

Yeeck.

[greenmask.insanejournal.com]

It would make a rather gloriously terrible rug.

[daningram.insanejournal.com]

Funny how Wolverine's using his claws to full, lethal effect, yet we've not seen a drop of blood.
