The Punisher War Journal #20

The cover of Punisher War Journal #20 says it all: Frank Castle, battered and bruised in his signature skull-emblazoned black suit, stands weaponless and backed against a tree while a ring of armed French Foreign Legion soldiers closes in around him in a jungle setting. The bold cover copy — "Weaponless… against the French Foreign Legion!!" — frames a scenario that feels both desperate and electrifying, with a small inset corner image reinforcing the tension. Cover pencils and inks by Tom Morgan deliver a gritty, kinetic composition that makes this 1990 issue a satisfying entry in the War Journal run.
