This was more than just the tale of how Wolverine got his adamantium skeleton and claws. Legendary creator Barry Windsor-Smith challenged fans' expectations of super hero stories and created Marvel's most brutal and beautiful comic. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn 1991, when \u003ci\u003eWeapon X \u003c\/i\u003ewas first published, Wolverine was one of Marvel's most popular super heroes. For \u003ci\u003eWeapon X\u003c\/i\u003e, creator Windsor-Smith reimagined the super hero origin story as a 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIllustrated with full-color art from this legendary storyline, Jim Rugg's entry in the\u003cb\u003e Marvel Age of Comics\u003c\/b\u003e takes a deep-dive into one of Marvel's most experimental and singular comics, and what many consider to be the definitive Wolverine story.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798765138762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.75h x 5.00w x 1.00d","brand":"Jim Rugg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52435603423413,"sku":"9798765138762","price":12.71,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_b42530c2-6170-4f7a-9e75-3af7b85c8fbf.jpg?v=1776227412","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/wolverine-weapon-x-9798765138762","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
