The Punisher #11

Part three of "Taxi Wars" arrives with a cover by Tim Bradstreet that perfectly captures the Punisher's cold, methodical menace — Frank Castle lurks in shadow, his face bisected by a sniper's crosshairs, while a tattooed skull rests in the foreground like a grim calling card. The stark black-and-white checkerboard framing and that oversized skull symbol overhead give the whole composition an unsettling, noir-soaked atmosphere. Tom Peyer and Manuel Gutierrez continue their run on Marvel Knights' most uncompromising vigilante in this 2002 installment.
