By 1989, Bill Sienkiewicz had cemented his place in comics as a creator to be watched. With early work on Moon Knight, moving on to The New Mutants, a great Dune movie adaptation, and stunning painted and collage work on Elektra: Assassin.
He was then – and remains now – an in-demand cover artist, including this Wolverine cover from early in the book’s run. New colour by me.

Cleaned-up art, though with all Sienkiewicz’s sproinks and splats, figuring out what is dirt and dust is problematic at best 😉
