Total Film Magazine March 2009 Issue 152 Wolverine X-Men Origins Hugh Jackman (1505)

Original Total Film Magazine – March 2009, Issue 152, featuring a bold X-Men Origins: Wolverine cover.

The cover uses a distinctive split-image design, combining illustrated Wolverine artwork on the left with a photographic image of Hugh Jackman as Wolverine on the right. His trademark metal claws are prominently featured on both sides, making this a particularly striking issue for collectors of X-Men, Marvel, Wolverine, Hugh Jackman and late-2000s film magazines.

The main headline is “X-Men Origins Wolverine”, promoting the then-upcoming 2009 film. The issue dates from the period immediately before the movie’s theatrical release, giving it additional interest as contemporary promotional coverage rather than a later retrospective.

This is March 2009, Issue 152, originally priced at £3.90. The cover itself is unusually minimalist compared with many Total Film issues, concentrating almost entirely on Wolverine rather than filling the front with numerous secondary headlines. That gives the issue a strong display quality and makes the central character artwork the clear focus.

Condition

Pre-owned vintage magazine with visible signs of storage and handling.

The front cover remains bright and highly presentable overall, but there is noticeable surface rubbing and light scratching, particularly across the darker photographic sections. There is visible edge and corner wear, including small knocks and creasing around the lower corners.

The bottom edge shows some light rubbing and minor waviness, while the right-hand edge has slight handling wear. The spine area also shows age-related rubbing consistent with a magazine of this period.

The central torn-paper effect dividing the illustrated and photographic halves is part of the original cover artwork rather than actual damage.

Overall, a good collectible copy with moderate cosmetic wear, retaining strong colour and a very distinctive Wolverine cover.

Please study the supplied image carefully as it forms part of the condition description.
