Wolverine Appearances in Publication Order: 1974-1979 (version 2.0)
I'm very compulsive by nature (as if you hadn't noticed already) and, since I own almost every Wolverine appearance ever, it should come as no surprise that I am creating a listing of every Wolverine appearance that I am aware of, broken down by cover date publication order. Note that entries in red denote 'nonsense' appearances (such as Marvel's Fun and Games Magazine), appearances that were clearly created for comedic purposes only (such as What the...?!), cover only appearances, and non-appearances that are frequently cited as genuine appearances. And while I do link to Mile High Comics for cover art of most issues, please do not view this as a ruse to buy from them. I simply find their site to be the easiest way to show covers (and sometimes previews) of individual issues. And for the sake of full disclosure, they are my favorite online comics store.
If you are aware of any Wolverine appearance that I am missing, please shoot me an email at DiG@typingmonkeys.com.
And if you are from Marvel Comics and want to offer me a job
writing (or are overwhelmed by my obsessive compulsive nature), please
don't hesitate to give me a shout.
