Wolverine Appearances in Publication Order (1983-1984) v1.01

Crossovers for Wolverine really started to take off in 1983 and 1984, hence this installment will only cover two years of Wolverine appearances. It is very interesting to note that there were no Wolverine appearances in May and June of 1983 due to the continuity of the Wolverine Limited Series. Can you imagine that? Two whole months without Wolverine. You can't go two weeks now without a Wolverine appearance. In fact, since I started this site in 2005, we've only had one week without a Wolverine appearance. I've also noticed how hard it is to capture every single appearance even though I own just about every issue. So bear with me as I add issues I've missed, but feel free to point out what you think I missed by emailing me at DiG@typingmonkeys.com). Entries in red denote 'nonsense' appearances (such as Marvel's Fun and Games Magazine), appearances that are clearly for comedic purposes only (such as What the...?!), cover only appearances, and non-appearances that are frequently cited as geniune appearances.

I welcome any and all comments, questions and corrections, and I can be reached at DiG@typingmonkeys.com. And if you are from Marvel Comics and want to offer me a job writing (or are overwhelmed by my compulsive nature), please don't hesitate to give me a shout.
