This absolute milestone issue marks the launch of Wolverine's very first ongoing, solo comic book series, spinning out of his massive popularity in the X-Men franchise. Scripted by legendary architect Chris Claremont with dark, gritty layouts by John Buscema, the narrative officially introduces Logan's iconic, low-profile alter ego known as "Patch" in the crime-ridden streets of Madripoor. The plot firmly establishes a cornerstone chapter in Marvel's Copper Age lore, highlighting the initial appearances of both the Cult of the Black Blade and the mythical Muramasa sword.
