Favorite costume: The Punisher

Other than maybe Cap’s shield, there is no more iconic image in the Marvel Universe than the Punisher’s skull T-shirt. Elegant in it’s simplicity, Castle’s costume says more about him and the kind of “heroism” he practices more than any other cape out there. The Punisher is a vengeful force of retribution, and the skull on his chest instills fear in the offender, and tells him that he’s not getting another night in lockup. No symbol is better understood in the realm of Marvel Comics—if you’re a bad guy and you see that skull coming down the alley, you know you just fucked up for the last time. The guilty will be punished.

Rucka paints a portrait of one of Marvel’s more disturbed characters with almost no dialogue and none of the ubiquitous narration boxes that have plagued the pages of Punisher comics ever since I learned to read.
