The Punisher War Journal #53

The cover of this April 1993 issue says it all — the Punisher charges forward in full combat gear, skull emblem blazing, pistol raised, while a woman stumbles to his left and an armed ally moves up on his right through smoke and fire, all beneath the bold tagline "INCOMING!" Gary Kwapisz's cover art crackles with kinetic energy, barbed wire and explosions framing a scene that feels like a full-on warzone assault. With Chuck Dixon scripting and Glynis Oliver's vivid colors setting the battlefield atmosphere, "Heart of Stone" looks like a fine entry in one of Marvel's grittier 1993 ongoing series.
