Marvel Comics Presents #5

Marvel Comics Presents was launched in 1988 as a bi-weekly anthology series designed to revitalize Marvel's short-story format. The title featured a rotating cast of characters, typically anchored by a continuing Wolverine serial that served as the primary draw for readers. Issue #5, released in late 1988, continued this structure, featuring the ongoing 'Save the Tiger' storyline written by Chris Claremont and illustrated by John Buscema.

The design of the issue follows the standard Marvel editorial house style of the era, prioritizing the serialized Wolverine story as the lead feature. John Buscema’s dynamic penciling, paired with Al Williamson’s polished ink work, contributed to the series' reputation for delivering high-quality, noir-influenced action. While the anthology format was intended to provide a platform for experimental or secondary stories, the series is largely remembered by fans for defining Wolverine's solo narrative trajectory during the late 1980s.
