The Wolverine Doesn’t Credit Claremont or Miller In Spite of Using Them In Promo Materials

If you’ve been paying attention to the promotional campaign, cast and crew interviews and other run-up to the release of 20th Century Fox’s The Wolverine, it would be almost impossible to miss the fact that the film is based on a story by longtime X-Men writer Chris Claremont and iconic comics artist Frank Miller.Impossible, that is, unless your primary source of information was the film’s credits.”Chris Claremont and I went to Times Square and watched The Wolverine, which was based on the miniseries he did with Frank Miller,” wrote Sean Howe on the Facebook page for his comics-history book Marvel Comics: The Untold Story. “Unfortunately, he didn’t get a credit, not even a “special thanks” in the film. Nor, as far as I could tell, did any comics writer or artist, including Len Wein and John Romita, who created the character.”
