The Punisher War Journal #73

The word "CHAOS!" at the bottom of this cover tells you everything you need to know about the mood of Punisher War Journal #73 (December 1994). Cover artist Melvin Rubi (inked by Frank Percy) fills the scene with the skull-emblazoned Punisher looming large in the background, guns in hand, as flames erupt behind him — while a fierce blond woman in a yellow jacket trades fire in the foreground and a battered red-haired figure scrambles desperately below. "Final Entry Part Three: A Journal of the Plague Years" promises a story as combustible as its cover, with Steven Grant at the helm of what looks to be a very bad day for everyone involved.
