Punisher Max: Butterfly #1

This 2010 Marvel MAX one-shot pairs the Punisher's skull emblem with a delicate blue butterfly resting at its center — a striking visual contrast that sets the tone for D'Orazio, Campbell, and Loughridge's "Butterfly." Campbell's cover art completes the image with a row of bullet casings standing upright against a glowing city skyline, the warm reds and oranges of dusk bleeding behind the skull in a way that feels both grim and unexpectedly beautiful. It's a thoughtful, evocative package that signals something a bit different from the usual Punisher fare.
