The Punisher War Journal #23

Part one of "Firepower Among the Ruins" kicks off with a cover by Andy Kubert that puts Frank Castle front and center — skull emblem blazing, dual weapons raised — as armed soldiers close in against a backdrop of ancient ruins bathed in amber light. The tagline promises that when the Punisher is done here, the past will be history, setting an ominous tone for this jungle-set showdown. With Carl Potts writing and Tod Smith on interior art, this 1990 Marvel series continues to deliver Frank at his most relentlessly determined.
