In "Sword Quest," Wolverine ventures into the shadowy streets of Madripoor, donning the alias "Patch" as he hunts the legendary Black Sword. Tasked with rescuing Mariko's secretary from a ruthless pirate crew, he pushes deeper into a web of myth and danger—where every blade carries a story. Written by Chris Claremont and brought to life with bold art by John Buscema and Al Williamson, the cover by Buscema and Williamson captures the grit and mystery of this high-stakes mission.
