X-Men #5
In "Blowback," Wolverine is taken by Omega Red and Fenris, who seek to extract memories of a lost Carbonadium Synthesizer from his mind. With the help of an old friend, he makes a desperate escape—only to find the X-Men hunting him too. Written by Jim Lee and John Byrne, with dynamic art by Jim Lee and inks by Scott Williams, Art Thibert, Bob Wiacek, and Joe Rubinstein, this 1992 issue delivers high-stakes tension and a pivotal moment in Wolverine’s past, all rendered with bold visuals by Jim Lee and Scott Williams on the cover.
