The Punisher War Journal #12

Dec 1989 · Marvel · 1.50 USD; 2.00 CAD; 0.60 GBP
“Contrast in Sin”

In "Contrast in Sin," the Punisher finds himself outmaneuvered and cornered by the unstable Bushwacker—still loyal to the Marauders but now working for the Kingpin to eliminate Castle after his disruption of a major drug operation. Written by Carl Potts and brought to life with sharp, dynamic art by Jim Lee, this tense showdown showcases the brutal clash between two violent extremes, with Al Milgrom and Don Hudson’s inks adding grit to every panel. The cover by Jim Lee captures the moment with stark intensity, framing the deadly confrontation before it unfolds.
