One of the most iconic X-Men covers of the entire era. X-Men #251 features the legendary “X Crucifix” cover, with Wolverine battered and nailed to a giant X in one of the most unforgettable images from late-80s Marvel.
Dark, dramatic, and impossible to ignore, this issue became an instant fan favorite and remains a centerpiece cover for Wolverine and X-Men collectors alike. This raw copy sits in Near Mint- (NM-) condition with strong structure and outstanding presentation.
Even beyond the story, this book is all about the cover—and some covers transcend into full hobby icons. Between Wolverine popularity, Marc Silvestri artwork, and pure visual impact, this issue continues to command attention decades later.
