The Punisher #45

Frank Castle stands atop a moving taxi cab, gun leveled downward, cape billowing against a city skyline burning orange — and his deadpan quip, "That's the last time you don't tip," says everything you need to know about the tone. The shattered windshield and the shadowy figure at the wheel suggest this particular cab ride has gone seriously sideways. With Ron Wagner's sharp cover art and a story titled "One Way Fare," this February 1991 issue promises a gritty, street-level Punisher adventure with a dark sense of humor to match.
