Punisher #18

In "Double Cross," the Punisher—struggling with lost memories and operating under the alias Mr. Edgy—uses an abandoned church as his base while hunting down local thugs. Written by John Ostrander and illustrated by Tom Lyle, with inks by Robert Jones and colors by Matt Webb, this 1997 issue blends gritty urban tension with a haunting sense of identity in flux. The cover by Tom Lyle and Robert Jones captures the grim, determined mood of a man fighting shadows he can’t quite recall.
