I have a Wolverine question. In the opening pages of Giant-Size X-Men #1, when Wolverine first appears, one of Claremont's captions says "The agent cipher-known as Weapon X...but better known to us as -- The Wolverine!" My question is, would Wolverine actually have been that well known to your average Marvel reader or X-Men fan on 1975 when that comic came out? I know he had appeared in a couple of issues of The Hulk the year before (#180 and 181), but had he been seen anywhere else prior to Giant-Size X-Men #1? No, he hadn't. There's a note in the GCD's index for Hulk #182 that says Wolvie's next appearance was in Giant-Size X-Men #1. That Hulk issue was on the stands in early September 1974, which was when I started college, and GSXM #1 was in late February 1975, the beginning of my second semester. That's enough time for them to have known that readers liked the character. I know I remembered him when I read GSXM #1.

Great votes and comments, everyone. It’d be great to read a comment from the person who voted for Suicide Slum, that’s a good choice. That was me. Ideally a Suicide Slum comic would be a Jack Kirby production, letting him tell stories like "Street Code".

The earliest depiction of a laboratory on a US comic cover that I can find - the lab of the insidious Dr. Fu Manchu! Detective Comics #18, August 1938. Cover by Creig Flessel.
