Our very own superhero to take on all-comers
After years of negative publicity in the press and on TV, Wolverhampton now has its own super hero.
Sheffield has Sean Bean as Sharpe, and in the 1700's London had Jack Shepherd, but for all the wrong reasons, now, today care of an American comic book cartoonist Tom Taylor, we here in God’s country have, WOLVERHAMPTON.

Eh, What? This incarnation of Wolverine and Porky Pig will no doubt fight the forces of evil, and vanquish the enemy's of Lady Wulfrun, and put paid to the scourge of the Brummie, and the peaky blinders.
I look forward to reading the exploits of he who is sharp of claw and long of snout, as he sees off the Bilston Bison's, and lays low the Tettenhall terrorists.
Our football loving hero will champion our local club to greater victory, for he is the arbiter of truth and justice, and let no man or beast hinder his quest for all that is good and true.
It’s about time we had something to further the good name of Wolverhampton, and I can think of no better incarnation of the city than our own cross between Edward scissor hands, and George Orwell's, pig, Napoleon, from Animal Farm.
I hope that the good folk of the city adopt him as a symbol of hope for the future, and follow his adventures with laughter and merriment.
