We present X-ray (Chandra and ROSAT HRI and narrow-band optical images of the mixed-morphology supernova remnant W28. We spatially compare these data with VLA maps that have been previously published in the literature. The ROSAT HRI mosaicked image shows the well-known center-filled X-ray morphology, as well as a few sharp filamentary structures. Narrow-band optical images from the Curtis Schmidt telescope at Cerro Tololo International Observatory also reveal complex filamentary structure. There is a relative enhancement of [S2] compared to Hα in the regions of known shock/cloud interactions and the converse is true in the central X-ray emitting region. Our Chandra image details the shape and extent of the central emission, revealing a bright knotty region approximately 5--10 arcminutes in size. The Chandra data also reveal a hard X-ray point source coincident with the southwestern shell. This source is probably unrelated to W28, but it was responsible for the spectral variations previously observed by ASCA.
