Johnston, Antony(2009)
Prodigal Son

Logan is special. The 14-year-old orphan—-his age is a guess—-is like many that age with the inclination to be headstrong and to prove himself through fights. Logan, though, has genuinely freakish abilities. His talent to heal miraculously from wounds is other worldly--not to mention the secret long claws that can spring from his clinched fists. To become a model citizen beyond the walls of his marital arts school however, Logan slowly learns while his schoolmaster Elliot instructs him. But the outside world Logan wants to see offers much more personal peril than he could imagine from Lady Silence and her associates. With his fighting technique and background story, popular Marvel Comics character “Wolverine” is a perfect fit for the manga story-telling venue.
