Cover Details

Kevin Nowlan's striking minimalist cover depicts Wolverine in his black stealth costume locked in brutal close-quarters combat with a massive grey werewolf-like creature, claws slashing through the beast's torso in a spray of red. The clean light blue background and Nowlan's precise, controlled linework give this cover a graphic novel quality that stands apart from typical late-80s Marvel covers. The cover banner reads: "The Gehenna Stone Affair! Part Four of Six". The Spider-Man head corner box appears in the lower left — a hallmark of Marvel's late-1980s branding initiative.

Story Arc — The Gehenna Stone Affair

This is Part Four of Six of The Gehenna Stone Affair — one of the most celebrated story arcs of the landmark Wolverine ongoing series. Written by Peter David with interior art by the legendary team of John Buscema & Bill Sienkiewicz, this arc is set in San Francisco and features Wolverine battling supernatural forces connected to the mystical Gehenna Stone. The Buscema/Sienkiewicz art team is widely regarded as one of the definitive pairings in Wolverine history, and the Gehenna Stone Affair is considered a high point of their collaboration.

Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman) Appearance

This issue features an appearance by Jessica Drew (Spider-Woman) — as noted directly on the CGC label. Jessica Drew's appearances in the Wolverine ongoing series during the Gehenna Stone Affair arc are a bonus for fans of both characters and add cross-collectible appeal.
