The Wolverine #1 in context
Why collectors care
Wolverine #1 (1982) is the first solo Wolverine title, the Claremont and Miller limited series that defined the character. It is a key Copper Age Marvel book with lasting demand.
How to identify it
The 1982 four-issue limited series first issue, not the later ongoing Wolverine #1 (1988). Confirm the year and indicia.
Common mistakes
The 1988 ongoing #1 is frequently confused with the 1982 limited series; check the date. Restoration appears on high-grade copies.
Grade considerations
High-grade copies are scarcer than the era suggests, and page quality matters. Spine stress is the usual grade-limiter.
