Police Chief Tai

Police Chief Tai is a law-enforcement authority figure who operates in Madripoor, the lawless Southeast Asian city-state where Wolverine adopted the alias Patch. He navigates the island's corrupt underworld alongside characters like Jessica Drew and Lindsay McCabe.

A figure of authority in Marvel's gritty corners, Police Chief Tai made his debut in Wolverine #4 in 1989, stepping onto the page during the Copper Age when the clawed mutant's solo adventures were pushing into shadowy, morally complex territory. Created by John Romita, Tai holds a place in a remarkably charged corner of the Marvel universe, sharing those tense, atmospheric stories with the likes of Logan, Patch, Jessica Drew, and Lindsay McCabe. With appearances stretching across some thirty years and a presence in Marvel Visionaries: John Buscema, this is a character whose staying power in Wolverine's world makes him a rewarding find for collectors digging deep into one of Marvel's most beloved solo runs.
