Without any doubt, Wolverine represents one of the most successful Marvel characters, despite his birth is totally unrelated with the golden era of the Lee-Kirby duo and the authors (Len Wein and Herb Trimpe for texts and drawings, respectively) belong to a generation subsequent to the “legends” of the the House of Ideas. A large part of this popularity is certainly due to classic traits of the superhero: the defense of the noblest ideals, pursued with superhuman powers and in a often hostile environment, where the super-problems (so dear to Lee) can give the reader the opportunity to identify himself with the character and his adventures. But in addition to these traditional features, Logan adds up many other ones, more original and profound, due to tragic events associated with his family, his life by wanderer, the repeated brainwashing suffered as a guinea pig in the horrid X-Weapon programme, the tormented love stories, the violence, loneliness and anger that often characterize his choices and his actions. And on more than one occasion, on tables of Comic books, the authors were able to skillfully take advantage of the tormented melancholy of the character and his introverted and solitary personality, up to develop alternative scripts and stories of an unusual profoundness. The Logan Wolverine Statue, masterfully sculpted by Ray Villafane and released in 2004 in 2000 samples, pays tribute to this unique and fascinating aspect of the hero! Logan is bare-chested erected on a rocky and snowy terrain and exhibits only a pair of torn jeans, boots in country style and a proud but unusually relaxed and detached pose. The body is lean and slender, despite a powerful and well-defined musculature. On his hairy chest a plate in military style stands clearly visible, while many battered and dirty bandages cover both wrists, up over the clenched fists, with the adamantium claws bloody and ready to use. Note the details of the sparse hair on the shoulders and arms and along the center line of the abdomen, the veins sculpted on biceps, the many folds of the jeans that fall naturally on the boots. The base is enriched by an old trunk that acts as a support for the hero: it is carved with great care and shows numerous shades, designed to accentuate the rocky look. The face is beautiful, faithful to Comics and characterized by the typical hair and long sideburns. The closed mouth with thin lips, the thin lines around the mouth and under the eyes staring into space (typical of who is absorbed in his own thoughts) combine to give the face an expression of melancholy sadness and, to the whole figure, a sense of proud detachment. A piece of great originality in Marvel's vast catalogue of Bowen Design, equipped with a fine workmanship and representing a top-quality collectible.
