Wolverine #21

Feb 1990 · Marvel · 1.50 USD; 2.00 CAD
“Battleground”

Wolverine #21 (1990) kicks off with the story "Battleground," a standout issue written by Stan Lee and Marie Javins, featuring the iconic claws-and-ferocity of Logan in a tense, high-stakes scenario. The interior art brings the action to life with gritty precision, while John Byrne’s dynamic cover—penciled and inked by him—captures the raw intensity of the moment. This issue stands out not just for its storytelling but for its place in the era’s comic culture, reflecting the era’s buzz around Marvel’s expanding media presence, from upcoming Hulk films to new novel tie-ins and the shift of Marvel Age to newsstands.
