Wolverine, Vol. 1 #2 (Marvel 1982) Signed by Chris Claremont 1st full app. Yukio

A collector-ready, Chris Claremont-signatured copy of Marvel’s Wolverine #2 (1982), distinguished by its role as the first full appearance of Yukio. Released during a pivotal shift in Marvel history, this direct edition originally retailed for $0.60 and captures Logan operating independently of the X-Men roster.

The book carries an approximate grade of 7.6. Interior pages maintain an off-white tone within a structurally complete volume, while the exterior retains a high-gloss finish. Conservation records note several minor spine ticks that interrupt the printed surface. Full disclosure supports informed acquisition, and every submission arrives with a verified certificate of authentication to confirm the signature’s origin.

This issue contains the story “Debts and Obligations,” detailing Logan’s campaign against a Japanese ninja faction. The creative trio established defining traits that shaped his subsequent decades: Claremont on script, Frank Miller on pencils, and Joe Rubinstein on inks. For archival libraries, tier-two investments, or completists tracking the Miller era, this single provides documented condition metrics and confirmed creator endorsement. Reference it alongside broader 1982 Marvel periodicals to track the industry transition from weekly serials to modern graphic storytelling standards.
