Marvel Comics Presents Comic Books
Redirected from Marvel Comics Presents
The original plan was for the lead story to feature different members of the X-Men in solo adventures lasting between eight and ten episodes. The first ten issues featured Wolverine, others to be featured were Colossus, Cyclops, Havok and Excalibur. From issue 39 onwards, Wolverine was featured as the lead story in all issues. Particularly noted was the Weapon X story in issues 72 to 84 which re-told Wolverine's origin with story and art by Barry Windsor-Smith. Later Ghost Rider was added to the series as "co-lead" feature and the book adopted a "flip-book" format, thereby allowing each of the two characters cover billing. Eventually other characters, such as Man-Thing and Lunatik, got cover billing.
The Wolverine portions of the MCP comics have started to be collected and reprinted in glossy high quality trade paperbacks in full colour. The stories in Vol.1 of the collections (issue 1-10) feature Wolverines first adventures in Madripoor, a fictional Island that became Wolverine's second home during the late 1980s. And the "introduction" of Tiger Tyger a minor but notable character in the Wolverine story.
