The Punisher Annual #6

This 64-page 1993 annual puts Frank Castle front and center in a tense, kinetic cover by Dave Hoover — the skull-chested Punisher looms large as a masked gunman opens fire and a blonde woman scrambles desperately in the foreground, all set against a vivid burst of colorful energy rings that give the scene a genuinely surreal charge. The "Eradikation!" banner hints at the high stakes packed into Steven Grant and Shawn McManus's "Death Metal" story within. At $2.95, it's a satisfying oversized package from a creative team clearly firing on all cylinders.
