“Damage”

In "Damage," Frank Castle tracks a ruthless gang led by the enigmatic and violent Damage, whose methods grow more brutal with every move. As the Punisher closes in, it's his own van that becomes the unexpected trap, drawing the gang into a deadly confrontation. Meanwhile, the Shadowmasters press on in their quest for a grandmaster, defeating a Sunrise Assassin in a high-tech battle suit. Written by Carl Potts and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Jim Lee—both interior and cover—this 1989 issue delivers relentless tension and a grim, no-holds-barred tone, with Klaus Janson's cover inks adding a stark, cinematic edge.
