The Punisher War Journal #46

Part six of Marvel's "Dead Man's Hand" crossover event, this 1992 installment of Punisher War Journal delivers a cover by John Romita Jr. and Mike Manley that puts readers right in the line of fire — a yellow-gloved hand thrusts a massive red weapon point-blank at the reader while Frank Castle, skull emblem blazing on his chest, charges forward with fierce determination. Small inset figures in the upper corner hint at the wider cast tangled in this multi-title story. "Hot Chrome and Cold Blood" sounds exactly as intense as it looks, making this a standout chapter of one of early-'90s Marvel's most ambitious crime-thriller crossovers.
