Notes & Trivia[]
- The character of Wolverine was created by writer Len Wein and artists John Romita, Sr. and Herb Trimpe. Most comic fans credit writer Chris Claremont with truly defining the character, however. He was introduced in a cameo stinger at the end of Incredible Hulk #180 in October, 1974, but made his first full appearance in the following issue, Incredible Hulk #181. In May, 1975, he became a member of the X-Men in Giant-Size X-Men #1. He has been associated with the X-Men in some capacity, either as a team member of an ally, ever since.

- This issue is UPC barcode number759606022540 46011.
- The title of this storyline is taken from Wolverine's famous catch phrase, which is usually some variation of "I'm the best there is at what I do, but what I do isn't very nice".
- The man in shadow is Malcolm Colcord, the director of the Weapon X Program. This is the first appearance of the character. His first full appearance is in Wolverine #166.
- The Ladykillers are code-named T & A. Those initials are most commonly used in the phrase "Tits and Ass". Welcome to the Bill Jemas era of Marvel Comics publishing.
- Wolverine refers to T & A as the Stephen King version of Betty & Veronica. Betty Cooper and Veronica Lodge are the love interests of Archie Andrews as seen in teen humor strips published by Archie Comics.
