The Punisher #10

Frank Castle stares forward with cold, unblinking resolve, pistol in hand and skull emblem on his chest, while an enormous, ominous skull with a single glowing red eye looms behind him — Tim Bradstreet's cover art captures the Punisher's unsettling duality with striking, painterly precision. Part of Marvel Knights' gritty 2001 revival of the character under writer Garth Ennis and artist Steve Dillon, this tenth issue arrives under the chapter title "Glutton for Punishment," which suggests the relentless momentum this run was known for. If you've been following Frank Castle's war on crime, this one looks every bit as unforgiving as the issues before it.
