Description

Striking rendition of Savage Wolverine in chains by superstar artist Rob Liefeld back in 1987 right before turning professional. Inspired by John Byrne and Terry Austin's work in X-Men #111 (1978) where Wolverine and his fellow X-Men are captured by Mesmero and brainwashed into thinking they are circus freaks.

This amazing pin-up was likely inspired by Classic X-Men #17 cover (published Jan 1988 but released late 1987) with a strikingly similar Savage Wolverine by Jon Bogdanove.

Liefeld penciled, inked, colored, signed and dated this for a lucky fan's sketchbook and revealed 40 years later!
