This issue is notable as it features just the third appearance of the New X-Men (Wolverine, Storm, Colossus, Nightcrawler, Banshee and Thunderbird), led by Cyclops.

Top of art has large hand-lettered "Warhunt!" story title, which was altered for publication, specifically the last letter.

Top margin has inked title and issue number w/penciled page number and Grainger's name added. Bottom left has been signed by Cockrum (1943-2006) in blue ink and is inscribed "Best Wishes To George."
