Condition

Sealed in original shrink-wrap, as shown in the photograph.

The front displays with noticeable surface scuffing and scratches visible through the plastic, including a prominent curved mark across the upper portion of the cover. There is also some rubbing around the edges and minor corner wear.

The book remains unopened, so the interior pages and back cover have not been inspected. Some of the visible marks may be on the shrink-wrap rather than the hardcover itself.

A classic Wolverine story and an essential addition to any collection featuring Chris Claremont, Frank Miller or the X-Men.
