ComicBook.com: How does it feel to revisit your classic run on Wolverine after all years?
Larry Hama: It was like coming home again. I was totally immersed in the Wolverine universe for 8 years, so I feel very comfortable when I return to it.
For Wolverine: Patch, were these stories always sitting in the back of your mind, waiting to be shared with the world? Or was it a case of looking at Wolverine with a fresh set of eyes and creating a new, unique story?
I took over the Wolverine title when he was still Patch in Madripoor, but moved him out of there within a year — and no, I didn’t have any “untold” stories just sitting there, because I wrote all those these stories page by page, not knowing what was on page three until I got to page two.
Are there any other Marvel characters you’d like to take a crack at in the future?
Always had a yen to try my hand at Dr. Strange — He’s one of the few characters I haven’t written or drawn.
