Marvel Causes Controversy by Adding New Name to List of Wolverine's Creators

Marvel now considers Roy Thomas as one of the creators behind Marvel's Wolverine.

There's been a shakeup at Marvel. Not in the sense of a major restructuring, but a change that sees a new creator receiving a credit for helping create one of the publisher's most popular characters. In a controversy that's quickly become the talk of Comics Twitter, Roy Thomas is now being credited as one of the four creators of Wolverine.

"Recently my friend and Len Wein's widow, Christine Valada, got a call from Marvel executive David Bogart, informing her that in the upcoming Wolverine & Deadpool movie , Roy Thomas will now be credited as the co-creator with Len Wein and John Romita Sr., and David said it's a done deal," Chase shared on a lengthy Facebook post earlier in the week."I was standing in Christine's kitchen this past Sunday as she told me about the phone call.

"Folks, let me tell you that Christine Valada, the widow of the late, great, Len Wein, contacted me last Monday to share the Wolverine news. I was immediately distraught and terribly upset," Liefeld shared Saturday."I have been simmering ever since. I have received hundreds of requests in the last 24 hours to weigh in on this matter and I will. Believe me, it's coming. I just need more time to settle.
