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\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Jim Rugg\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Academic\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/11\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.59lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.71h x 5.12w x 0.40d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798765138762\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eJim Rugg \u003c\/b\u003eis an Eisner and Ignatz Award winning cartoonist, designer, zinemaker, and illustrator.
