Wolverine (1988 1st Series) Special 102.5 VG/FN 5.0

Published 1996 by Marvel

Grade: VG/FN 5.0

Cover by Boris Vallejo. "Slay-Per-View" written by Dan Slott with art by Mark Buckingham. "Costume Re-Partee" written by Dan Slott with art by Mike Wieringo. Bonus pin-up by Julie Bell. Continuity-wise, the story in Wolverine #102.5 falls between Wolverine #102 and #103. Written by Mark Buckingham with art by Mike Wieringo, this was a mail-away comic for the Fleer trading cards produced for Marvel. The cover was used as art for the Fleer Ultra X-Men set and an interior pin-up was used for the Marvel Masterpiece 1996 set. Why is this such a strange read? Because each page is actually 9 trading cards with each sheet of 9 cards linking together to form a single comic book page--not a 9 panel comic book page--but rather a normal comic book page. Fleer had two requirements for the artist and writer doing the comic. Every card had to feature at least one character, and as many Marvel characters as possible had to appear in the 11 page story. Given these weird parameters, the final "comic" turned out pretty well. And, given the bizarre rules, Mark Buckingham did an excellent job!

Combining Multiple Orders

• We process orders quickly: depending on when your order is received, it will either ship same business day or next business day. Once we've begun pulling and packing your order, we cannot modify the order to add more items to it. However, if we receive a new order from you and your first order hasn't been pulled yet, we will automatically combine your orders into a single shipment and refund you the extra shipping charge imposed during the eBay checkout process. There's no need to request combined shipping or a modified invoice, it will happen automatically.
• If you want to be sure your items ship together for a single shipping charge, we recommend that you submit a single order for everything you want to buy, rather than ordering them separately.

Ordering more than 40 items

Ebay limits the number of items you can purchase in a single checkout to 40 items. We have no control over that limit. If you want to order more than 40 items, then place an order for the first 40 items and then go through checkout again for the remaining items you want to order. If you place your second order immediately after the first, we will automatically combine your orders into a single shipment and refund you the extra shipping that the eBay checkout system charged you.
