An ongoing Wolverine series started publication in 1988 and lasted until 2003 when it was relaunched after issue 189. The original creative team consisted of writer Chris Claremont and penciler John Buscema. Claremont described the series as “high adventure rather than super heroics, sort of a combination of Conan meets Terry and the Pirates.” As a visual manifestation of the series’ break from the traditional superhero genre, throughout Claremont’s run Wolverine wears either civilian clothes or a mask-less, all black outfit instead of his superhero costume, and costumed characters in general were few and far between. Nearly half of the series’s run was written by Larry Hama.
