The Punisher War Journal #34

John Beatty's cover for this September 1991 issue puts the Punisher front and center — dual-wielding a handgun and a shotgun, his iconic skull emblem dominating his chest — all rendered in striking pink and black tones that give the image a nocturnal, neon-drenched atmosphere. The tagline sets the scene: "One August night in New York City… Blackout!" — promising a tense, city-darkened chapter in Frank Castle's war. With Mike Baron scripting and a deep bench of inkers supporting Ron Wagner's interior art, Punisher War Journal #34 is a solid entry in one of Marvel's grittiest ongoing series of the era.
