Marvel Age #135

Marvel Age #135 from April 1994 puts the Punisher front and center — literally, as the cover by John Buscema showcases four very different figures all sporting the skull insignia, from a determined blonde woman in a tank top to a towering armed man and a costumed figure with a "no Punisher" symbol on his chest, with a crouching blue-clad figure rounding out the group. The tagline "Candidates and Copycats" perfectly captures the tension radiating from the image, hinting at a world where Frank Castle's symbol has taken on a life of its own. Rounding out the issue's previews are looks at Marvel Trading Cards and Ghost Rider 2099, making this a solid snapshot of Marvel's 1994 lineup.
