Classic X-Men #39

In "Wolverine: Alone!", the X-Men are torn apart as Cyclops leads a desperate stand against the Inner Circle and their enigmatic new Black Queen, Jean Grey—while Wolverine fights through relentless odds to reach his trapped teammates. Written by Chris Claremont and John Byrne, with dynamic art by Byrne and inks by Terry Austin, this 1989 issue captures a raw, high-stakes clash of wills, all rendered in bold colors by Glynis Oliver and sharp lettering by Tom Orzechowski. The cover, by Steve Lightle, perfectly frames the lone warrior’s grim resolve.
