Johnson, Dave - Marvel Licensing 1995 Wolverine Envelope Art! - $325

This 1995 piece by Dave Johnson is a fantastic example of a high-energy licensing illustration that captures Wolverine’s classic ferocity. By showing him mid-strike with his claws unsheathed and teeth bared, Johnson emphasizes the raw, animalistic side of the character that fans love. The sharp, clean linework on the adamantium claws makes them look incredibly lethal and ready for action.

Johnson’s use of heavy, bold blacks gives the costume and muscles a great sense of three-dimensional weight and texture, and the focus on the intense, white eyes and the grit in his expression really hammers home the "best there is at what he does" attitude!
