Classic Wolverine Covers: Giant-Size X-Men #1
Every week, Wolverine Files highlights, in chronological order, iconic Wolverine covers…
Perhaps the most iconic cover in X-Men history, Giant-Size X-Men #1 depicts the new X-Men bursting onto the scene, quite literally. Penciled by Gil Kane, the cover also debuted Wolverine’s new mask, an inadvertent penciling error that was deemed better than his previous mask. In fact, Dave Cockrum, who inked the cover and drew the issue itself, was forced to go back and redraw Wolverine throughout to reflect the new look.
And after the jump, a closeup of the original pencils by Gil Kane and two homage covers…
From January 2006, X-Men: Deadly Genesis #1 and from 2002, Futurama Comics #8…

Hey Dig, what did you think of the Wolverine novels ? I was thinking about picking them up at my local book store. Were any of them actually good ? I read the first chapter of Life Blood, and it wasn’t that great.
I haven’t read many of the Wolverine novels. I have my hands full just trying to keep up with the comics and this site!
Of the ones I have read, I can only recommend the short story from the Marvel Novel Series, ‘The Marvel Superheroes’ (Sept 1979).
Thanks for the suggestions my friend. If I read any particular good ones, I’ll be sure to send you the names. As always, thank you for creating a master piece of Wolverine dedication and fandom. I’m sure the creators of our favorite mutant would be proud.
