Notable for Adam Kubert's iconic 'Chiaroscuro' style cover art. Part of the 'bone claws' era of Wolverine after the events of Fatal Attractions.
Authentication Notes
The comic appears authentic based on the UPC barcode placement, correct Marvel logo typography of the mid-90s, and standard glossy paper stock reflection.
