Final piece of Alan Davis art (for now): this is the other cover for Wolverine Annual #1, drawn by Alan.

More Alan Davis art: this is the cover for Wolverine Annual #1, the third comic written and drawn by Alan that will feature his creation, The ClanDestine. Seeing the characters again makes me a happy comic book guy.

Marvel comics for April 2012: this is the variant cover to Wolverine #304, drawn by Dale Keown, my final selection of of visuals from the solicitations. He does draw a good Wolvie.

This is a print of Wolverine that Leinil Francis Yu did for San Diego Comic-Con 2009, but I only recently discovered it [via Comics Alliance Best Art Ever (This Week)]. It looks even better in pencils than the colour version.

Marvel comics for March 2012: yes, it’s another Art Adams cover. This is for Wolverine #302 – I love the way that Adams draws Logan, probably my favourite Wolverine artist.

This is a lovely sketch of a Japanese-themed Wolverine by Leinil Francis Yu, and I love the simple elegance of it.

Travis Charest posted this brilliant drawing of Wolverine as a sneak peek of something he is working on but can’t yet disclose. The image file was labelled ‘WW2Wolvie’, which might provide a clue, but I guess we’ll have to wait …

Marvel comics for March 2011: even though I already posted the Punisher variant, I couldn’t help but post the Wolverine variant cover by Daniel Aja for 5 Ronin, because it is just as great.

I was going to move on from my Wolverine kick after yesterday, but the fates decide otherwise: on his blog, Tony Moore did this sketch of Logan under the title Snikety Snikt, Here Comes The Stabbin’, which he apparently stole from Jason Aaron while listening to a podcast with Aaron on it, and I knew I had to post it.

This image is a crop of The Uncanny X-Men #207, drawn by John Romita Jr. JRJr is a good artist, even though I’m not a great fan of his style; however, he was drawing The Uncanny X-Men at the time that I started reading the book (my first issue was #201), so his version of Wolverine has a soft spot in my affections, and this cover in particular. It also explains why I prefer the brown costume to the yellow and blue; it was the one I grew up with …

An old and perhaps classic version of Wolverine today: Art Adams is a simply perfect comic book artist (apart from being very slow and not doing enough interior work). Everything he draws is pretty close to being an iconic version of the character, but he always drew a fantastic Wolverine, and this one is probably the most well known.

A modern cover of Wolverine for today, although still in the pencil form. Francis Lienil Yu is a very good artist, and does a good Logan, which is appropriate when I recall that the first time I saw his art was on a four-issue Wolverine story written by Warren Ellis many moons ago. This is the cover to Fallen Son: Wolverine, but don’t let that put you off.

This looks like a quick con sketch of Wolverine by Chris Bachalo, although I don’t know the full details (I got this from the Bachalo gallery at Comic Art Community). Not only is it a great little image, but it also makes me jealous of his ability to knock this out with a few strokes of a pen.

Over at CBR, they have the companion preview to Newsarama with solicitations for X-Men/Ultimate for July 2009. This cover for Wolverine: First Class #17 by Cameron Stewart made me smile: the composition, the attitude, the way Wolverine’s face has been drawn, the eye-patch joke all make for a great cover.
