| Frank Miller |
Wolverine v1 #1, 1982 - Wolverine's increasing popularity leads to this first solo book, which begins a four part limited series. Frank Miller, nearing the end of his historic run on Daredevil, brings his film noir approach to a story about the Japanese underworld. Despite the tongue-in-cheek cover, the pages are eloquently designed and expertly paced. His layouts emphasize strongly vertical or horizontal panels, a hallmark of his style that coincidentally suggests an Asian flair. The story art is least compelling on the first few pages (particularly the unconvincing grizzly on page 3), but these are counter-balanced by the clever, triptych-style window on page 8 and Wolverine's appearance in full costume on page 9. While this four issue limited series has been reprinted in trade paperback, I prefer the originals. Wolverine's first ongoing series would commence six years later.- - - - - - - - - -
