Sometimes even shamans get cranky. That was baby Wolverine's misfortune -- to be cursed by an out-of-sorts shaman who was frustrated because he couldn't get his own baby daughter to stop crying. Not only has shaman Paaliaq forbidden the future marriage of Wolvering to Breath, Paaliaq's beautiful but teary baby girl, he has cursed Wolvering to banishment when he becomes a young man. And even when a contrite Paaliaq later revokes the curse, the shaman's even crankier magic animal will not. Now Wolverine finds himself stranded on a barren island, locked in a life-or-death struggle to return to his home, his family and a very special young girl. -- Page [4] of cover.
