Where it came from
Marvel Comics Presents #16 was released in April 1989 as part of an experimental bi-weekly anthology series that allowed Marvel to showcase both established and rising talent. The series was designed to provide a platform for shorter, self-contained stories, often featuring characters who did not have their own monthly titles at the time. This specific issue is most notable for its contribution to the Wolverine solo narrative, which served as a backbone for the anthology during its early years.
The issue features a segment of the 'Weapon X' story written and illustrated by Barry Windsor-Smith. Working in a style that diverged from standard superhero fare, Windsor-Smith employed a meticulous, painterly approach to detailing the gruesome origins of Wolverine. This run is widely considered a seminal work in the character's history, praised for its atmospheric tension and psychological depth, which significantly elevated the prestige of the Marvel Comics Presents title.
