Comic Timing Episode 223: Spotlight on Wolverine – Part 1

Let’s go, bub. Just as Deadool & Wolverine hits theaters, we bring you a Spotlight on the Canucklehead himself! Ian is joined by Shane Kelly, Adam Murdough and Professor Chris Eberle for this one, as Chris completes a deep dive into Wolverine’s history. This episode specifically focuses on Wolverine’s comic book history from his creation and introduction, up to the end of 1983, with Uncanny X-Men #176, including Claremont and Miller’s Wolverine miniseries. We also delve into buckets of retro continuity, including Barry Windsor-Smith’s Weapon X, Origin, Origins, Origin II, and so much more. Care for a piece of fruit, this one is jam-packed indeed!

And here’s the video version for those who prefer it!
