I was first introduced to Wolverine (or more accurately THE Wolverine) after picking up Uncanny X-Men #111 at a 7-11 back in 1978. Chris Claremont and John Byrne were creating the golden era of the X-Men, and I became mesmerized by this cantankerous Canadian.

For the next few years, my best friend and I would talk endlessly about every single revelation of Wolverine’s past. I even started a notebook tracking all references of his life before he joined the X-Men. Later it became a Word document that I updated and rewrote as more and more entries sprang to life from the pages of various Marvel comics. After more than 25 years, I finally decided it was time to put it on the Web and let others enjoy the fruits of my obsessive compulsion.

Since then, Wolverine Files has evolved into providing news and reviews of all things Wolverine, publishing weekly columns on Classic Wolverine covers and most recently debuting a Wolverine Files Community Forum.
