Classic Wolverine Covers: Classic X-Men #1
From 2008 to 2009, Wolverine Files highlighted, in chronological order, iconic Wolverine covers and their homages. Want to start at the beginning? Click here…
In September of 1986, Marvel Comics released Classic X-Men, a series reprinting early new X-Men stories with additional pages and backup stories by Chris Claremont and John Bolton.
And awesome new covers by Arthur Adams…
First up is a preliminary cover sketch by Arthur Adams from the collection of Drew Cheskin.
There also seems to be an earlier preliminary sketch courtesy of Fog City Art Exchange.
Next, we have the homage covers for Avengers Classic #1 by Arthur Adams himself from 2007 and The Official Handbook of the Universe: X-Men – Age of Apocalypse 2005 (whew!) by Mark Brooks…
It is interesting to note that early issues of Classic X-Men also boasted art on the inside front cover, and this stunning Arthur Adams frontispiece from the first issue is perhaps the best new X-Men team picture ever done…
And finally, we feature the back cover by John Bolton, a teaser for the all-new pages Chris Claremont and John Bolton incorporated into Classic X-Men #1…

Damn right that is iconic ! I’ve seen that Wolverine pose in every single X-Men sponsor and Wolverine related merchandise. I think I say the same Logan image in the X-Men video game instruction booklet. Thanks for bringing this up though, I never got to read the X-Men Classic comic books, just the Essential ones. (Minus the bonus stories that appear in the classic issues)
Very interesting mate.
I especially like the Avengers Classic #1. ^_^
Your hardwork is appreciated.
