Paul Jenkins examines more of Wolverine’s early life with CAFU in the new five-issue Wolverine: Origin III-The Dark Age series.
The series focuses on Logan in the 1950s trying to carve out a life of peace and serenity after years of trauma brought on by his childhood and his service in the first two World Wars.
“Wolverine: Origin was foundational. It did not simply tell us how, why, and where a young, frail Canadian named James Howlett became the super hero we know as Wolverine, it also showed his loss of innocence and his understanding of a cruel and difficult world,” said Jenkins. “Now, after 25 years, I’m privileged to present this story I have waited over a quarter of a century to tell. Where did Logan go? Which parts of his story were lost to history? What led to the events of “Weapon X”? The answers are not going to be what you expect.”
“I don’t think I’m exaggerating when I say this is the most important project I’ve worked on in my entire career,” CAFU said. “Origin is one of my all-time favorite Wolverine stories, and I’ve loved Paul Jenkins’ work since I was a teenager, so becoming a part of the continuation of that story and being able to tell a little more about Logan’s past is a dream come true.”
Jenkins originally teamed with Andy Kubert for Wolverine: Origin in 2001. Kieron Gillen and Kubert followed up on the the first series in 2015 with Wolverine: Origin II.
