At the Sign of the Lion

"At the Sign of the Lion" is a six-page comic book story featuring the Marvel Comics character Wolverine and the Olympian demigod Hercules, who serves as the story's antagonist. Written by Jo Duffy, penciled by Ken Landgraf, and inked by George Pérez, it was first published by Marvel UK in the anthology series Marvel Comic #335 (cover-dated 28 March 1979).

Originally commissioned as an emergency inventory story, it is historically significant for being the first published narrative to feature Wolverine as a solo protagonist. It predates his first American solo adventure in The Uncanny X-Men #133 (1980) and his first dedicated title, the Wolverine limited series (1982), by several years. Consequently, the issue is recognized by commentators and pricing authorities as a key milestone in the character's publication history.

In addition to its chronological significance, the story is cited as the origin of the "Wolverine in a bar" trope, establishing the setting that would become the character's signature environment in future media. It is also notable for marking the first time that artist George Pérez—later one of the industry's most celebrated pencillers—worked as an inker for Marvel Comics, as well as being the first Wolverine story scripted by a female writer, Jo Duffy.
