Description

Masque on the Hunt X-Men (and related series) plus Silvestri for me equals top tier art. This page comes from his work on the WOLVERINE series, mid run; after his epic run on Uncanny X-Men before he left to create IMAGE and do Cyberforce. The page features Masque and a few goon Morlocks on the hunt in their tunnels, where they follow a scent and find torn clothing from Elsie-Dee. Who previously blew herself up to help escape from the tunnels. Silvestri’s art at this point along with Green’s inks really gave great disturbing detail to Masque and the goons (really featured “beautifully” in the lower left panel). Masque has the ability to physically alter flesh, organs and reshape a being through his touch. He’s been an intriguing character as a Morlock that has the power to reshape but has almost always been toward the negative side staying hidden as an outcast in the tunnels, only recently in the New Mutants books has he began to reshape and help some mutants working at a hospital for their benefit. I really enjoy the Elsie-Dee storyline and this is towards the end of her first major story arc. My pages from Wolverine #37, 38, 39, and 40 show more from her story before she became just an android head as she is in this issue.

I'm sure everyone will be talking about that close-up, but I really like that bottom panel for some reason.  Great inks throughout.  And of course the hand fetish guy in me loves those last two hand panels.  LOL

A face only a mother (or Marvel fan) could love!

Great page.  I loved Silvestri on Wolverine.  This issue was a couple issues after Sabretooth tells Wolverine he is his dad.  Great times...

The Morlocks never get a break! Great page.

The face is kind of Silvestri and Green doing an EC horror host riff as they put a lot of attention to it.  The first panel is a nice set up with them at the entrance of the tunnel as we see before us the gears and debris blocking their entrance.

This was the peak period for the Wolverine title for me.  I was working in a comic book store when this came out, and there were times when people were talking more about Silvestri's work on this book than they were about Lee or Liefeld on the team books.  Silvestri was good on Uncanny X-Men, but he became a superstar on Wolverine.  Congrats on the pickup from an amazing run!

To me, Marc Silvestri became MARC SILVESTRI on his Wolverine run. No shade on his Uncanny work, but this was where he really hit his stride. Congrats on nabbing a page from the run!

Wow! I loved Silvestri's run on Wolverine! This page brings up lots of memories of reading and rereading the series. Love the panel with the grotesque closeup and the final panel with its depiction of the ruined Morlock tunnels! Great pick-up!

Always thought Masque of the Morlocks was a fun character!  Nice example here, and loving that panel layout and subsequent storytelling, too.  Congrats!

Silvestri knows how to make it flow!
