Marvel Comics Presents is anAmerican comic bookanthology title that was published in three series byMarvel Comics: from 1988 to 1995; 2007 to 2008; and in 2019.[1]
The first volume was released on abi-weekly basis and lasted for 175 issues. Each issue had four eight-page stories, of which generally three were episodes in ongoing serials and one was a standalone story, though many issues featured two standalone stories and some featured only serials. The standalone stories generally featured obscure or little-seen characters from theMarvel Universe, and often featured work by creators previously unpublished in the comics field, includingScott Lobdell (a later X-Men writer), who started work under the editorship ofTom DeFalco.[2]
The original plan was for the lead story to feature different members of theX-Men in solo adventures. The first ten issues featuredWolverine; others featured wereColossus,Cyclops,Havok, and the members ofExcalibur, whose solo adventures were incorporated into an 8-part serial bookended by chapters staring the entire team. From issues #38 through #142, a story featuring Wolverine was in every issue of the series. This was due to a mandate from Marvel's sales department, which noticed that sales of the series were always higher for issues in which Wolverine was featured.[3] Particularly notable during this run was "Weapon X" in issues #72–84, which revealed the origin of how Wolverine received hisadamantium-laced skeleton and claws, with story and art byBarry Windsor-Smith.
Initially the series used wraparound covers which illustrated all four features in each issue, usually but not always with the lead feature on the front and the other three on the back. Starting with issue #90, theGhost Rider was added to the series as a "co-lead" feature, and the book adopted a "flip-book" format, allowing only the two lead features to appear in the cover illustration, though the other two features usually received cover billing.
Issues #143-146 were wholly devoted to the "Siege of Darkness" crossover, dropping the regular Wolverine feature. Staring with issue #147 Ghost Rider was dropped as well, and from then on until the end of the seriesVengeance was the new regular character, while the covers rotated between the various features.
Wolverine once more appeared in features from issues #150 through #155, but this time it was strictly to burn off two inventory stories.Ann Nocenti andSteve Lightle had already started work on a sequel to their acclaimed story "Typhoid's Kiss" from issues #109-116 before Wolverine was dropped as the regular feature, so Vengeance was worked into the story and it was published. Dwight Jon Zimmerman had submitted the plot for the first installment of a sequel to "Sign of the Beast" from issues #62-63, andPaul Ryan had penciled it, but Zimmerman left Marvel without finishing the project. It was shelved for years, but with Zimmerman not returning, it was turned over to writer Nel Yomotov, penciller Phil Hugh Felix, and inker Rey Garcia to finish.
Several of the Wolverine storylines have since been collected and reprinted in trade paperback format. The first volume features Wolverine's first adventures inMadripoor, a fictional island that became Wolverine's second home during the late 1980s.
Other notable highlights include the first appearance ofRamonda, mother toShuri and step-mother to T'Challa (issue #14), the first appearance ofDamage Control (issue #19), a wrestling match between theHulk and aHulk Hogan facsimile (issue #45), the first appearance ofSiege (issue #62), the first appearance ofCyber (issue #85, by Peter David and Sam Kieth), and the first meeting of Wolverine and Venom (issue #117).
