Why Collectors Love It:

Storm-led Wolverine covers are rarer than they should be, and this one earns its place in the run — Ororo front and center, purple bodysuit, alien tentacles, Wolverine reduced to a corner presence in his own title, which is exactly the kind of creative confidence that makes late-'90s Marvel covers worth hunting. The American Entertainment interior ad is the artifact: Wolverine/Witchblade #1 with a Mike Turner exclusive variant cover for $5, mail-order coupon, www.Mania.com, Baltimore MD — the full texture of mid-'90s direct market mail-order culture in one spread. The Chasing Amy back cover is the closer: Kevin Smith, Miramax, "It's not who you love. It's how." — two consecutive Wolverine issues, two Kevin Smith films. He found his audience.

Condition Notes:
