Jim Rugg's New Wolverine Weapon X Book!

Cartoonist Jim Rugg joins Dave to discuss The Marvel Age of Comics: Weapon X, his deep-dive into Barry Windsor-Smith's seminal 1991 Wolverine story, originally serialized in Marvel Comics Presents. Rugg talks about the project's origin, why he considers it one of Marvel's all-time greatest works, and how Windsor-Smith's pre-digital coloring techniques remain unmatched. The new book is a comic companion to the Bloomsbury music book series : 33 1/3 The two discuss where Weapon X fits alongside Dark Knight and Watchmen as bronze age touchstones, the story's hidden religious symbolism, Retro Causality, and why a naked killer with claws is scarier than a clothed one.
