Set Description:
Frank Miller does the Wolverine Justice in this Asian Tail, from whence the honor has fallen, comes the Logan Son. To keep his word and fall in love, Wolverine has got to keep the emotions in check! Sometimes branding your claws is too much focus, and it can be your downfall to think otherwise. To fend off the rage and quell the storm, some have found peace this way. A lesson hard learned and sometimes with Logan, a regret. Tearful, joyful, and keeping in line with discipline, it takes a peaceful man to go through the storm scathed or not.

Limited Series. Limited only by the imagination of the incredible Frank Miller, who often and for a long while, is an industry leader!

My Humble 8.0 Frank Miller Limited Series! I say humble because I sent it in and was crossing my fingers for a grade in the 9.'s. I have the complete set as raw copies, but they have raw signatures from Chris Claremont and Len Wein, as they are my "readers." I would have liked nicer slabs, yet VF is sometimes the sweet spot, especially bronze and now copper, eventually. You can't always get what you want, always dream big though, and sometimes you get what you need. Like other issues in this series, there are comfortably priced in grade available, seems a collectable grade and suits just fine. I enjoy the story that Wolverine must restore honor and earn the rights as any other. Given his ability, and or, handicap it makes for a telling story. About the price of love and how it's not always returned, yet you hope beyond hope for it to be. Logan has since taken to keeping up with himself first, his guard is up a lot of the time, and yet, he has on occasion made concessions.
Complete with a back cover picture of the earlier raw copies I mentioned, they are signed by Len Wen and with the first issue signed by Claremont as well! Time honored readers that get a worthy mention, glad to have survived my first con, as well me considering the implications.
Grader Notes:
bend bottom of back cover;
spine stress lines;
stain right bottom of front cover.

1st full appearance of Yukio. Wolverine And Yukio sitting In A Tree!?! Time for the F.I.G.H.T! The honor of relationships is trying to be restored, or at the very least balanced. The way with Logan is, to do the best he can while being entreated and tested. The end is as inevitable as it begins, with the Wolverine always hoping against hope for a different outcome. Frank Miller tests his abilities in this series, with flowing art and being moving. The Wolverine is light on his feet, but those butterflies for the female variety speak volumes sometimes. Logan, having been trained, is keeping it close to the vest to let any testing fall by the wayside or relent. The Wolverine or Logan himself having known love and felt its pain as well, decides that the trial is worth the effort, as honor in relationships is the ever-resilient teacher that hasn't been as kind to the Wolverine. Logan feeling the "love" almost constantly throughout the ages.
Complete with a back cover picture for contrast, I put my sketch by Neal Adams as a back cover pic. It has a lot of inks, if not overly done. It also portrays the Wolverine as a bit feral with fangs! That can sum up those mutton chops of the limited series cover nicely. A Dave and Adam's grab at $145

#3 in the first solo series for Wolverine, as limited as it may be. A somber cover of reflection. I have this set of #1-4 raw, and they are signed by Claremont and Len Wein. Still, those are my readers, and having slabs in VF is nice to help complete the collection! Got to have them all! The 2nd in a soon to be run of slabs with #1-4 in the Limited Series, and with #1 being the 1st obtained. Got to say these covers stand the test. Keep the inspiration from Frank Miller, and you'll have a winner. Not all Wolvie is enjoyable for the reasons of "Joy!" Sometimes you've got to go through and learn those life lessons that may instead prepare you for something better. Life bestows ability, yet opportunity does not always arrive. Making it happen is a goal, but sometimes those curves can't be forced. Staying in your lane is what Wolverine was trying to do, and now it results in loss. Those aren't new tears for the Wolverine but they seem new because they are in the present for him. He has loved and lost a lot, but these things happen to each of us from time to time!
Complete with a back cover picture of the further raw copies of the complete set, signed by Len Wein, and it takes a reading to be able to recall the importance and describe that feeling to a new generation. Notwithstanding, it takes those nostalgia feels and jumps off the page!
Grader Notes;
moderate bends to cover.

Last Issue of the 1982 Limited Series, and the Last I needed for my set. Nice to sum it up quickly at NM CGC 9.4 from Reece Comics at $105 shipped. These may have originally been able to be found raw for cheap, and depending on grade, all around cheaper. I was going that route with issue #1 that came back 8.0. How unfortunate that it kind of detoured me from searching as much "in the wild!" That can happen, but it was a series that I wanted to complete in ANY grade VF or better, which is done! Glad to check them off my list, and I suppose I could upgrade if the price and grade were right, this being the second set I've completed, following only the crow and maybe another. Times are changing in big keys, even with the lowering of some sales, that I've resorted somewhat to finishing out sets, and or, just picking up similar comics that are related in a set. This being the last and a prime example for now!
Complete with a back cover picture of the prescreen pass before released to theaters of, "Last Night in Soho!" Wolverine is no stranger to these Asian roadways that can take, like the movie, twists and turns to find out who it is behind it all! Bit of detective work experience and you can work anywhere!
