The Punisher War Journal #69

The fifth and final chapter of "Pariah" arrives in this August 1994 Marvel issue, with a cover by Elman Brown and Scott Koblish that frames Frank Castle's steely, determined face reflected within — and emerging from — an enormous red-outlined Punisher skull symbol, while massive gray hands loom around it and the tagline "Face-Off…With Death!" sets the stakes. It's a striking visual that captures the Punisher caught between his iconic symbol and something far more threatening, making the conclusion feel genuinely weighty. With Steven Grant writing and Hugh Haynes on interior art, this is a satisfying capstone to a multi-part story built around Castle as an outcast.
