Rikichi

A minor but memorable face from the gritty late-'80s Marvel universe, Rikichi made their debut in The Punisher War Journal #7 in 1989 — right in the thick of that Copper Age era when Frank Castle's brutal world was being brought to vivid life by the legendary art of Jim Lee and the storytelling of Carl Potts. Sharing the page with the Punisher himself alongside characters like Yuriko Ezaki and Manzo, Rikichi inhabits the morally complex, street-level corners of Marvel that made War Journal such a compelling read. A rare find with only a handful of catalog appearances, this is exactly the kind of deep-cut character that rewards the dedicated collector hunting through one of the most stylistically electric runs of the era.
