Marvel Comics Presents is a bit like the old adventure reels in Saturday afternoon cinema. It takes four different storylines and presents them as serials, with a new issue every two weeks. This lets Marvel experiment with a number of new story ideas while staying reasonably sure that if one doesn’t appeal to the readers, the other three will. In most issues, at least one of the stories has featured the X-Men’s Wolverine. The other stories have covered diverse characters from Ghost Rider to Nth Man. However, many people will remember the series for the 12-part story entitled “Weapon X.” This series by Barry Windsor-Smith served as a sort of origin for Wolverine, telling the story of the grisly experiment which laced his bones with adamantium, and of the brutal methods by which the experimenters tried to turn him into a human killing machine.
