Kitty Pryde and Wolverine #5

Penultimate chapter of Marvel's six-issue limited series, Kitty Pryde and Wolverine #5 arrives with a cover by Al Milgrom that commands attention: Kitty Pryde and a red-masked, sword-wielding adversary clash dramatically against the looming backdrop of Wolverine's three massive, outstretched claws. The tension between the two figures — one poised and determined, the other fierce and armed — sets the stage perfectly for a story titled "Courage." With Chris Claremont writing and Milgrom handling both pencils and inks inside, this 1985 series continues to be a sharp, character-focused corner of the Marvel universe.
