About this Issue

Wolverine #66 is the opening chapter of 'Old Man Logan,' the story that introduced one of the most fully realized alternate-universe versions of any Marvel character — an aged, pacifist Logan haunted by the worst act of his life. By stripping away the berserker persona entirely and setting the story in a post-apocalyptic America divided among supervillains, writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven forced readers to reckon with what Wolverine actually means without his rage, his claws, or his heroic identity. The arc's DNA runs through nearly every major Wolverine story that followed, spawned a solo ongoing series for the Old Man Logan character beginning in 2016, and served as a creative touchstone for the 2017 film Logan. Its vision of a traumatized, vow-bound Logan became a durable archetype that reshaped how Marvel — and Hollywood — thought about the character's dramatic possibilities.

In a future where the past is buried, Logan lives as a farmer, his identity erased—until the Hulk Gang comes calling. Beaten and broken, he’s offered a chance to reclaim purpose by a blind, weary Clint Barton, who needs a dangerous journey across a fractured America to deliver a crucial package. With the Kingpin’s reach and Dr. Doom’s shadow stretching across the land, Logan’s path to the east coast begins with a single step. Written by Mark Millar and illustrated by Steve McNiven, with cover art by McNiven and Dexter Vines, Old Man Logan Part 1 sets the stage for a relentless trek through a world that has forgotten its heroes.

History

Mark Millar and Steve McNiven reunited for this project fresh off their collaboration on Civil War (2006–2007), giving the launch of 'Old Man Logan' a substantial built-in audience and editorial profile. The story was planned as an eight-part arc running through the third volume of the Wolverine ongoing series, beginning with issue #66 (cover-dated August 2008) and eventually concluding in the oversized Wolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan #1 in September 2009. Millar had quietly foreshadowed elements of the world in his concurrent Fantastic Four run, where characters strongly implied to be an aged Logan and a young Bruce Banner Jr. appeared, giving sharp-eyed readers an early glimpse of Earth-807128. Demand for the debut issue was high enough to generate multiple printings, including a second, third, and fourth print run, alongside a suite of variant editions.

Trivia · 8 facts

First appearance of Old Man Logan (James Howlett of Earth-807128), the aged, pacifist alternate-universe version of Wolverine, created by writer Mark Millar and artist Steve McNiven.
First appearances in this issue also include: Maureen Logan (Logan's wife), Scotty Logan (his son), Jade Logan (his daughter), and the Hulk Gang — the gamma-irradiated grandchildren of Bruce Banner who serve as the story's primary antagonists in Part 1.
First appearance (in this continuity) of a blind, aged Clint Barton / Hawkeye, who recruits Logan for a cross-country delivery run that drives the story's plot.
The issue establishes the central emotional premise: Logan has not popped his claws in fifty years, after being tricked by Mysterio's illusions into massacring his fellow X-Men — a backstory revealed more fully in later chapters of the arc.
The arc's worldbuilding depicts a United States conquered and partitioned by supervillains — an alternate Earth later designated Earth-807128 — with Logan farming in what was once Sacramento, California, in territory controlled by the Hulk Gang.
The creative team behind the blockbuster Civil War event (2006–2007) — Millar (writer), McNiven (penciler), and Dexter Vines (inker) — reassembled for this story, with Morry Hollowell providing colors on the standard cover.
The issue shipped with multiple cover variants, including a 1-in-50 retailer incentive cover and a 1-in-100 sketch variant by artist Michael Turner, as well as a Dynamic Forces exclusive cover by Herb Trimpe (limited to 1,999 copies).
The 2017 film Logan drew creative influence from this storyline; the complete arc — Wolverine #66–72 plus Wolverine Giant-Size Old Man Logan #1 — has been continuously reprinted, most recently in a Marvel Premier Collection hardcover edition published in 2025.
