Solo Series Begins (1988-1989)
Wolverine's ongoing solo series launches with Logan operating undercover in Madripoor as 'Patch' — a transparent disguise that somehow works. Chris Claremont writes a noir-influenced adventure series set in a lawless Pacific island nation. Logan runs with pirates, fights crime lords, and builds a life outside the X-Men. John Buscema's gritty artwork sets the tone for a harder-edged book. Introduces Tyger Tiger, Archie Corrigan, and the Madripoor supporting cast
