The Punisher War Journal #35

The cover of Punisher War Journal #35 sets the stage with a tense, nose-to-nose standoff — two men locked in a fierce confrontation, a revolver shoved between them, with the Punisher's unmistakable skull emblem visible in the corner and a movie-clapperboard motif ("Scene 35, Take 1 — Action!") framing the whole scene. Cover pencils by Steve Geiger and inks by Bob McLeod give the moment a raw, coiled energy that makes the standoff feel genuinely dangerous. With writer Mike Baron and artist Ron Wagner driving the story titled "Motivation," this 1991 Marvel entry promises exactly what its cover delivers — confrontation at point-blank range.
