Savage Wolverine #2 — Milo Manara 1:50 Variant Cover (2013)

Savage Wolverine #2 is the second issue of Marvel's 2013 Savage Wolverine series, written, penciled and inked by Frank Cho, with colors by Jason Keith. The story continues Wolverine and Shanna the She-Devil's adventure in the Savage Land as they explore the Forbidden Island and encounter dangerous inhabitants.

This highly collectible Milo Manara 1:50 Variant Cover takes a very different approach from the regular Frank Cho cover. Instead of Wolverine, the artwork focuses entirely on Shanna the She-Devil, who is depicted in a dynamic action pose with her weapon raised as she confronts a massive Tyrannosaurus rex. The dinosaur dominates the lower portion of the composition, while Shanna occupies the central foreground against a lush Savage Land setting.

Manara's painted artwork uses strong natural greens, browns and warm skin tones, creating a classic pulp-adventure atmosphere. The dramatic perspective emphasizes the enormous scale of the dinosaur compared with Shanna, while the painted style gives the variant a distinctive European-comics aesthetic. Contemporary descriptions and the original artwork identify the cover specifically as the Shanna the She-Devil variant by Milo Manara.
