![]() I have always considered Herb a co-creator of Wolverine. Even Herb himself stated he had nothing to do with Wolverine's creation. Roy, however, insists: He got paid for the job and that's all he was legally entitled too. And as much as Roy Thomas personally would also like to credit Herb as an "official" co-creator of Wolverine, Marvel does not consider him one. Herb Trimpe drew what Roy, Len and John formulated in The Incredible Hulk #180-182 (October to December, 1974). but he would've lacked Len's particular virtues. I chose Len because he was a good writer, but if Len had preferred not to do so, there would've still been a Marvel Wolverine who was Canadian, short and vile-tempered. If I had taken the name from Dave, then I wouldn't have been debating in my mind for a short time, before the meeting with Len Wein, about whether to call the hero Wolverine or Badger. Artist Dave Cockrum may or may not have shown me his notion of a character called the Wolverine, one of a number of Legion of Super-Heroes types he'd created.
